I believe this is the way to go and with GLCs taking the lead,
other private companies will follow:
On fifteen of seventeen quality of life measures, the community
with high employee ownership is la better place to live than one
with least employee ownership. Residents of the community with
employee ownership are less likely to be victims of crime, more
likely to have feelings of confidence in public authorities, more
likely to have a feeling of security, less likely to be involved
with domestic violence, more likely to stay in school, more likely
to have training after school, more likely to enjoy better physical
and emotional health, more likely to have a network of friends they
can rely on in time of trouble and more likely to give
blood.[32]
