Social work as a professional activity aimed at helping and supporting citizens who find themselves in difficult life circumstances requires constant improvement of their own technologies. The development of domestic practice of social work began in the 1990s. The rise was carried out mainly thanks to the creation and organization of the activities of new social state institutions, which provided services to various categories of the population, were regulated by appropriate regulatory and legal mechanisms, and were accompanied by the introduction of traditional technologies into the practice of social protection of citizens.
Resources for the intensive stage of development have gradually been exhausted, and in modern conditions, new technologies and innovative practices for solving social problems are emerging. They correspond to the model that forms an active social policy, focused on civic initiatives, involving citizens in forms of activity that allow them to overcome adversity, change their life situations by their own efforts with the involvement of the resources of the social environment to which they belong.
In our country, for a long time, state institutions were the only subjects of implementing social policy and maintaining social balance. The modern approach involves connecting other subjects to solving social problems, which can offer non-standard, innovative forms of working with clients. The newest and most promising subjects are social entrepreneurs who offer an alternative way to solve the problems of social groups of the population.
The theory of social entrepreneurship at this stage of its development is at a pre-paradigmatic stage, and in scientific literature you can find many definitions and approaches to understanding the essence of this phenomenon.
Differences in the definition of the term "social enterprise" are caused by the peculiarity of the economy and the conditions of business existence in different countries.
