Abstract
The innovative way to solve acute social problems is implementation of social entrepreneurship in Ukraine. World expiries shows the effectiveness of this model of business activity. The analysis of national literature and economic practice gives the reasons to tell that the ideas of social entrepreneurship have not been spreaded in our country yet. There is a lack of unity to determine the category. Due to that the main approaches of social entrepreneurship’s definition in different countries is considered in this article. Thus the social enterprises in the USA are considered as a form of entrepreneur, commercial activity, that is used by NPO’s to create a revenue and to strengthen of social mission result. In European countries the social entrepreneurship is determinate as a business with a social mission. International organizations determine social entrepreneurship as an innovative business activity to social change at the societies and communities. Social enterprises only start to be created in Ukraine. According to the statistics we have only 42 of them in 2013 year but actually there are more then 200. Statistic data gives an opportunity to show the trends of these enterprises in Ukraine. From this analysis we can distinguish such barriers of the social entrepreneurship development: the absence of the term "social entrepreneurship" in Ukrainian law; lack of publicly recognized examples of social entrepreneurship, lack of good experience in this field; undeveloped infrastructure of social enterprises support in the "third sector" and in the business; the problem of raising funds at outset of the business, there is no special credit programs; low level of public commitment to the values of social solidarity and indifference to problems that do not concern them personally. Institutional features of social entrepreneurship development can be represented in the form such theses: «give us money», «we don’t care», «I will not say something», «who needs that», «law is like a beam». The argumentation of these theses can clearly illustrates the problems of the implementation problems of the social entrepreneurship in Ukraine.
