Description & Coverage
Description:

Education programs in social entrepreneurship helps to create and fill jobs devoted to developing the local economy, which has become a dual transfer strategy by which a virtuous circle occurs between a retrofitted educational system based on social entrepreneurship, and vocational students who are highly entrepreneurial.

The Handbook of Research on Social Entrepreneurship and Solidarity Economics focuses on practical experience and theoretical models for popularizing the concept of social entrepreneurship as a critical element of economic growth. Emphasizing the ways in which social entrepreneurship benefits developing regions, small and medium enterprises, and low-income communities, this handbook of research is a pivotal reference source for professionals, academics, and graduate-level students in the fields of economics, business administration, sociology, education, politics, and international relations.

  • Corporate Social Responsibility
  • Economic Development
  • Entrepreneurship Education
  • Joint Liability Lending
  • Microfinance
  • Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)

Reviews & Statements

In response to the collapse of the Lehman Brothers investment bank in 2008, a new school of economic thought was born that has been expanding rapidly in Latin American and Caribbean counties as a complement to traditional schools of economic thought. The Editor explains that it is based on cooperativism and focuses on achieving harmonious economic development to avoid immigration from rural to urban areas and the causes of poverty, injustice, and social inequalities. Economists and business scholars explain the ideas and processes, and describe some examples of its application.
