State policy of legal regulation of the Institute of Social Entrepreneurship in Russia

Abstract

Social entrepreneurship occupies intermediate position between traditional entrepreneurship and charitable activities. It is the entrepreneurial activity that is aimed at solving the most acute social problems, as well as at achieving socially useful goals. A secondary goal is to increase one's own financial situation. Social entrepreneurship is an effective tool for maintaining and developing the economy, and it has a huge social effect. However, despite the fact that the first steps in the development of social entrepreneurship have already been taken, today there are many problems that can be combined into two large groups: problems related to the state support and problems related to popularization. State support is the foundation for building effective social entrepreneurship, since it is at this level that the legal status of social enterprises is established, as well as lists of their activities and persons, to whom this activity is directed, are formed. But even with stable legislation without enlightenment campaign, it is impossible to achieve the development and dissemination of this business direction. The article discusses theoretical and practical foundations of social entrepreneurship in modern Russian realities, the analysis of which allowed identifying acute problems in the development of this business direction. The authors developed theoretical provisions suggested as directions for improving the state policy of supporting social entrepreneurship, and basic provisions of the federal and regional law on social entrepreneurship.
