Abstract(s)
A relação de mercado, quando ganha prevalência à escala global numa sociedade, tende a gerar pobreza para uma parte da população e uma gestão insustentável dos recursos naturais. No entanto, pode haver situações em que formas deste tipo de relação, à escala local e orientadas por um propósito solidário, podem ajudar a combater os dois problemas atrás referidos. É o caso das chamadas “lojas sociais”. Neste trabalho faz-se uma inventariação o mais exaustiva possível das lojas sociais criadas em Portugal até meados de 2020. Depois faz-se um estudo de caso da Loja Social de Esposende para a qual se mede o impacto dos bens doados às famílias beneficiárias nos respetivos rendimentos, bem como a quantidade de materiais que a loja permite reciclar.

This is the case of the so-called “social shops”. In this work, an inventory of the social shops created in Portugal until mid-2020 is made as exhaustive as possible. Afterwards, a case study of the Social Shop of Esposende is made, which measures the impact of goods donated to beneficiary families on the respective income, as well as the amount of materials that the store allows to recycle.
