The Social Economy Satellite Account (SESA) is a synthesis statistic composed of the social economy production and operating accounts, defined and estimated with the methodological principles of national accounting, and consistent with national data. It has been conducted on the basis of the definition of the Social Economy as defined in Law 5/2011 of 29 March on the Social Economy.
The SESA is basically comprised of three types of elements:
- Tables with the production and operating accounts, in which the production and cost structure of entities in the social economy is explained as a whole. It has been estimated by institutional sectors and also branches of production (CNAE 2009). It includes tables segregated by type of entity: Cooperatives, Mutual Societies and Friendly Societies, Singular Entities (ONCE, Red Cross and Cáritas), Associations, Foundations, other entities in the social economy, and commercial entities that are subsidiary to the social economy.
- Tables of direct employment data for the social economy in the same terms of disaggregation as the economic accounts.
- Tables with the data on volunteering, by type, with their imputed economic valuation.
