| Sumario: | The concept of decent work was launched by the International Labor Organization (ILO) at the end of the 20th century, in a global strategy to mitigate the increasing precariousness of work, mainly in developing countries. Coincidentally, at that moment Brazilian cooperatives started to hire formal workers, in addition to their associates. The purpose of this article is to analyze whether the jobs generated by Brazilian cooperatives adhere to the concepts of decent work. The methodology includes the use of sources available in databases, in addition to bibliographic research. The results indicate that the jobs generated in cooperatives, in general, adhere to the concepts of decent work because they show better levels of remuneration, stability and gender equality when compared to those generated in private companies. However, cooperatives have challenges to overcome, such as reducing the gender pay gap.
