Abstract

Social entrepreneurship promotes not only business development but also social and economic processes in the country. This means investing not only in economic development, but also reducing social problems in parallel. The aim of the study is to assess the role of social entrepreneurship in the social and economic context. The most important novelty of the study may be the assessment of the possibilities of development of social entrepreneurship in Latvia, updating the main aspects of its provision.
