Resumen
- Solidarity economy and popular education are interconnected fields that promote social justice, equity, and democratic participation. This study, using a qualitative methodology, employed bibliometric search equations in databases such as WOS, Scopus, and SciELO, covering the period 2000-2023. A documentary review using PRISMA was conducted, selecting 192 documents, including 94 research articles, 68 institutional documents, and 30 reviews.The results highlight that democratic participation in the solidarity economy faces barriers such as inequalities in skills and training. Popular education fosters critical awareness but encounters challenges like preexisting power relations and resistance to change. The economic sustainability of these initiatives requires innovative business models and continuous education. Moreover, the scalability and replicability of these models depend on their adaptation to different socio-economic contexts.It is concluded that integrating solidarity economy and popular education strengthens resilient and just communities. However, their implementation requires sustainable strategies, continuous training, and adaptation to local contexts. The incorporation of information technologies can enhance their impact, though challenges persist in digital access and technological literacy.
