Why Social Entrepreneurship (1)

economy and social entrepreneurship concepts that are
relatively new in Bulgaria.
Raising demand to social economy and entrepreneurship
opportunities due to the potential to generate jobs and be a
means for overriding poverty and social exclusion.

employment of disadvantaged individuals.
Contribution to the national economy saving budgetary
transfers for social protection including those related to long-

Why Social Entrepreneurship (2)
Supporting economic and social development, generating
employment and reducing poverty; covering a part of the social
protection network.
Bringing together business efficiency and social solidarity (e.g.
EU member-states owe roughly 12-18% of the employment rate
and 12-14% of GDP to SE).
Introducing entrepreneurial features in services (social cares,
vocational training, certain medical treatment); improving living
standards of disadvantaged persons, overcoming their
marginalization.
Launching a "different entrepreneurial approach" the driver is
not merely the profit but protection against social
disadvantages.
