Question

co-operative movement originated first in​

Answer 1

Answer:

Modern co-operation started with the Rochdale Pioneers' shop in the northern English town of Rochdale in 1844, though the history of co-operation in Britain can be traced back to before 1800.

Robert Owen (1771–1858) is considered as the father of the cooperative movement. A Welshman who made his fortune in the cotton trade, Owen believed in putting his workers in a good environment with access to education for themselves and their children.

Some of the major types of cooperative societies are as follows: (1) Credit Cooperative Societies (2) Consumers Societies (3) Producers Societies. Credit society was the first type of cooperatives.

Most scholars recognize the business of the Rochdale pioneers of England as the first coop. In 1844, this group of 28 men (weavers and skilled workers in other trades) formed a cooperative society. They created business principles to guide their work and established a shop in which to sell their goods.
