Abstract
This paper describes the principal models for worker participation in property in Quebec. Four formulas are presented. First, the workers' i nvestment funds have original characteristics, both in the scope of po pular participation and in the strategic role taken on by these funds. Second, worker-shareholders' co-operatives are a controversial model which is unique to Quebec. Third, workers' co-operatives are examined. Fourth, the paper looks at individual worker participation in shareho lding. In conclusion, the paper evaluates each formula for its potenti al for development and for democratizing work.
