Abstract
This article presents an overall view of voluntary action groups in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico, a light industrial city of some 720,000 inhabitants. During 1983-84, 354 groups were identified, and 98 of them were studied in depth. Labor unions, cooperatives, neighborhood associations, and small savings clubs were found to be of substantial importance among lower income groups. Important re lationships were discovered between government and voluntary agencies, many of them competitive or co-optative. The paper includes some comparisons between Leon and Neuquen, Argentina, where the author studied voluntary associations in 1981-82.
