Abstract
The origins of the Paraguayan trade union movement can be traced to the mutual aid societies founded in Asunción in the period following the War of the Triple Alliance (1865–70). Established initially by foreign residents, these groups later came to include skilled Paraguayan artisans. By 1887 there were 11 such societies with 1384 members, many of whom were self-employed. It is significant that the same year there were still only an estimated 1700 paid employees in Asunción.
