Abstract

In the last decade the
concept of development and promotion of social economy and social
entrepreneurship are part of the EU policy to tackle the social exclusion of
persons in a vulnerable position. Also, the model of social economy is one of
the key instruments for achieving social objectives within the framework of the
sustainable and inclusive growth. Social benefits are measured by integration
and employment of disadvantaged people, the contribution to the process of
social inclusion of other vulnerable people, and the economic indicator is
expressed by saved public funds for social welfare, on the one hand, and the
additional funds compensating the social costs of long-term unemployment. What
is important to happen is to create suitable conditions for the development of
social enterprises with the widest possible range - vulnerable groups
themselves and their problems are diverse and different, and the „answer” to
their needs must be flexible in order to be efficient and effective; the „way to solutions“ is not important - the
paths may be different, as are diverse and vast opportunities for economic
initiatives that leads to the result itself, the result is important - better
integration and sustainable tackling of social exclusion.
