Are there countries with legal structures more friendly to worker coops?
For example I know Germany has structures like works councils that are foreign to us in N. America (though this is not a worker coop structure). However these structures historically arise from labor movements, not from top-down planning from authorities or electoral politics, which takes more than thinking up a design for a better society without considering who and why it would be implemented
I suspect that be in the more socialist countries.
Cuba has many, but also usually are state initiated and somewhat state controlled. China, Vietnam and DPRK have many "not true worker coops" also due to state control.
Finland, Italy and Basque/Spain also score high, and we're talking about actual worker coops there.
