Design/methodology/approach: To this end, a review will be carried out of the main factors from the regulatory and financial framework and the support structures of these organisations model. Findings: The main findings are the constant decrease in the number of SSLL over the past ten years and a certain decrease in the number of worker cooperatives. Some of the reasons put forward for this decline are the lack of effective favourable tax treatment; the establishment of more favourable measures for capitalist companies; the change of the single payment of unemployment benefits; the lack of knowledge and training professionals and politicians. Originality/value: The main contribution of this paper is to provide a recent analysis of the regulatory changes and developments in the field of worker cooperatives and worker-owned companies in Spain. 000130002 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S28-23R 000130002 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000130002 594__ $$a1.2$$b2023 000130002 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000130002 7102_ $$14012$$2650$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
