| Summary: | Cooperatives as one of the business entity that is engaged in Indonesia's
economy is currently experiencing a dismal times caused due to lack of
competitiveness that is owned by a cooperative against other business entities as
well as a lack of interest in the community to join the cooperative especially urban
communities. While this is just growing quantity of cooperation without any
quality improvement. This research is intended to acknowledge the efforts made
and the obstacles facing Cooperatives in improving the welfare of the National

Cooperative has done some effort in improving the welfare of its members, i.e. the
granting of loans to members, the granting of funds administering SHU, stipend
for members or family members who died, granting lebaran presents and
awarding scholarships for children of members who are top achievers. However,
until this research done, National Defence Institute of RI Cooperative is still not
optimal in improving the welfare of members and in order to support the
economic resilience of the family. It is known from the existence of barriers faced
by National Defence Institute Cooperative, such as lack of capital, strategic
location of stores that are less, bad credit and still low participation member.
