abstract: 'The values shared by social economy enterprises generate a

  differentiated behaviour of these entities in relation to their staff

  composition, the work conditions, their productive specialisation and

  their geographical location compared to the profit seeking firms

  (corporations and limited liability companies). This differentiated

  behaviour constitutes an important contribution to social cohesion, and

  in particular from a gender perspective, it foster a higher

  participation in labour market and better labour conditions. The mail

  goal of the paper is to evaluate the existence of the differentiated

  behavior of social economy entities in terms of equal opportunities and

  labour conditions, focusing in Spain. We use the Continuous Work History

  Sample (MCVL) for the year 2010 and identify the target group and the

  control group that are statistically comparable in terms of size and

  industry. We first analyze the differences between workers conditions in

  both groups applying parametric and non-parametric test for average

  differences. Secondly, we focus on wages discrimination, using

  Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition technique. Results show that social economy

  entities provide better conditions in access to employment and labour

  stability, and also show lower gender wage discrimination.'
