Abstract

Development of social enterprises in Slovakia is less supported. Legislation is adopted only as a social enterprise work integration (temporary employment), and it is an instrument of active labour market policies. The social economy is determined also by the new organizations or by the successfully operating entities of the third sector that are followed by a new business approach. The biggest problem is that there is no comprehensive legislation and a system of financial support for social economy entities. We focus on the identification of barriers of social economy development and on the definition of criteria of social entrepreneurship as a new area of business activities with an emphasis on social enterprise, which has different forms of organization.
