  text: <jats:p>This paper reports on a survey of co-operatives in the cultural and
    technology sectors in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Creative
    industries are a growth area for new cooperativism, with more than a quarter of
    surveyed co-operatives in operation for less than five years. While the findings
    show that co-operation is a promising strategy for countering individualised experiences
    of work, for democratising workplaces, and for facilitating satisfying work in
    creative industries, they also reveal significant challenges which individual
    co-operatives and the wider co-operative movement must confront for cooperativism
    to have a sustainable and inclusive future in the cultural and technology sectors.</jats:p>
