| Summary: | Social economy is a relatively new phenomenon, having
started just a few decades ago, and due to this reason it has yet to reach
great scale. Due to the phenomenon of global crisis propagation, the
economies of all countries have been affected and have gone into an
economical cycle recession phase, some economical agents hitting the
climax of the crisis, practically shutting down their activities. Starting
from this, some social problems started to accentuate: the number of
unemployed people has risen, the poverty rate went up, the
marginalization and social exclusion rates went up, the aging of the
population has increased, the discrepancy between the rich and poor has
widened and so on, and in this context social economy has gained a
greater importance not only at an European level but also at an
international level. As such, social economy may become one of the
innovative and creative solutions which can contribute to a more human
approach to economical problems, combining freedom of market with
social responsibility to the benefit of the whole community. |
