Firstly the chapter points out the causes which explain the statistical invisibility of the Social economy organizations (SEO), especially the rules of the national accounts, (section 1) then it analyzes the progress realized for the last 20 years, by insisting on the approach which allowed to reach a common methodology, aknoxledged by the UNO, 2003 (section 2). It shows how the application of this methodology allows to build satellite accounts of the non-profit Institutions, then, in a future not to far, of the ESS (section 3). He insists finally on the delicate measure of the voluntary work, from now on standardized by the ILO.
