Legal regulation of social entrepreneurship focused on the integration of marginalised groups into society

The study aimed to compare legal approaches to support social entrepreneurship aimed at the integration of marginalised groups into society in several countries, including France, Italy, Great Britain, the United States of America and South Korea. The results demonstrated unique models of legislative support focused on social inclusion: from the social and solidarity economy model in France to public interest companies in Great Britain. Each of these models has its own characteristics, particularly in terms of tax incentives, grant support, and integration requirements. The results of the study emphasize the important role of social entrepreneurship in promoting social and economic integration. The comparison of legal frameworks showed that different levels of support can affect the stability and efficiency of social enterprises. For example, the Social and Solidarity Economy model in France and the cooperative system in Italy emphasise the reinvestment of profits in social projects, the Community Interest Companies in Great Britain ensures transparency, and in South Korea enterprises receive subsidies for the employment of vulnerable groups. This indicates the adaptation of approaches to the specific national context. Thus, the study found that a clear and structured legal framework significantly contributes to the development of social entrepreneurship, providing stable financial support and the opportunity to achieve social inclusion through job creation, skills development and increased financial stability among marginalised groups
