Neprofitni sektor i socijalna preduzeća
Non-Profit Sector And Social Enterprises

Summary/Abstract: Interest in new modes of production and organization of services within alternative social actors results from general increase of number and impor-tance of the third-sector organizations, as well as from actual demands to compensate decrease of economic growth and supplement the network of public and private social policy programmes in an unconventional manner. The revival of actors in between state and economy follows the decrease of economic growth, which has appeared in Western european countries already since mid-1970s, when first social enterprises have emerged as well. Later on, sudden proliferation of organizations of this type has been linked to increase of unemployment, particularly of those social groups not favoured in classic entrepreneurial activities (long-term unemployed, handicapped, women, roma), social problems and crisis of welfare state, or their increase has been linked to defects of conventional state programmes in rendering specific social services. considering that programmes directly create employment or organize employment trainings - and particularly of those social groups which join the labour market with difficulties - incentive of the eU states is an impor-tant factor for development of these new modes of solidarity. Social enter-prises and cooperatives which undertake social responsibility for a part of population that needs additional efforts, empathy, simplified procedure and incentive for enhancing social cohesion, have become a significant support of modern state.
