Abstract
The article discusses the main issues of definition of social entrepreneurship, both from economic and legal point of view. Since Russian legislature is only at the beginning of the way to create legal framework for activities, legislation on social entrepreneurship seems fragmentary and inconsistent. All of that adversely affects development of social entrepreneurship. Official city statistics (Nizhnevartovsk) show that less than a third of all entrepreneurs are interested in this type of activity; entrepreneurs who already have business in the field of social entrepreneurship mostly do not plan to expand current activities in this area. Analysis can contribute to creation of developed socio-economic relations in Russia. It can be achieved by building effective relations between social entrepreneurs and beneficiaries on the one hand, and also between social entrepreneurs and the state on the other.
Highlights
According to Article 6 of the Constitution, the Russian Federation is a social state
In our opinion, existence of a law on social entrepreneurship in a particular state does not guarantee its high level of development and vice versa, since state of development of social entrepreneurship is raised by private individuals, civil society, and not by the state
In order to create developed socio-economic relations in Russia by building effective relations between social entrepreneurs and beneficiaries, it is necessary to clarify the content of the category of “social entrepreneurship”
Summary
According to Article 6 of the Constitution, the Russian Federation is a social state. In November 2018, Dmitry Sazonov, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy, Industry, Innovative Development and Entrepreneurship, confirmed the need for a draft law on social entrepreneurship, noted that the Government of Russian Federation would direct efforts to develop this area. He believes that it is necessary to gradually increase the share of presence of non-governmental organizations in social services market, reaching 50% by 2024. It is necessary to create a register of activities that can be offered in the social services market, and to develop a standard for uniform high quality of their provision. [1]
