Abstract
The current movement of Worker Cooperatives in the United States is less known in Japan. Therefore, an interview survey was conducted on Worker Cooperatives and support organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York City. On the basis of the survey results, this paper elucidates the ways in which the Worker Cooperatives have thrived in a neoliberal economic system, the challenges that Worker Cooperatives are facing in the United States, and the prerequisites for the development of Worker Cooperatives in Japan.
