Abstract

In order to provide guidance for the European Social Entrepreneurship Funds and the Programme for Social Change and Innovation, the European Commission decided to “develop a methodology to measure the socio-economic benefits created by social enterprises” and “their impact on the community”. For whom and for which purpose will measuring impact be useful? What are the consequences for the decisions to be taken by the European institutions? This paper focuses on the different conceptions of measuring “social impact of social enterprises” and on the consequences of the public regulation being prepared. The trend towards the development of social impact assessment on the European level is currently driven by international financial institutions. Stakeholders of the European social economy sector (such as governments or NGO’s) are essentially reacting to a financial trigger. In order to better understand the framework of current European debates, the paper provides: 1) an historical insight of the social impact phenomenon, 2) a mapping of the different stakeholders (social enterprises, governments and financial institutions) and their expectations towards measurement tools and 3) foreseeable evolutions call for public action.
