We explore emerging contexts of social entrepreneurship in India. Social entrepreneurship is emerging as an important option in poverty reduction and social change wherein organizing societal responses to scenarios like entrenched deprivation, cumulative disadvantages, long extant institutional lock-in, and vulnerabilities enmeshed in social stratification, hiatus emanating from segmentation of labour market and inadequate coverage of social protection form the core of strategies/collectives/organisation. In this paper, first, drawing cues from the literature, we outline basic typology of social entrepreneurship while delineating pivotal role technology and collaboration play in social entrepreneurship. Second, we provide a glimpse of not profit organisations in India, based on the secondary data. We juxtapose select patterns from the data on non profit organisations with human development. Third, we discuss select cases of social entrepreneurship that diverge in characteristics and contexts, in particular how these initiatives work towards poverty reduction and social development.

The Impact

The actualization of the results of financial decentralization in Ukraine as part of the reform of decentralization of power and the development of proposals for its improvement is explained by the fact that a clear division of functions, powers and financial resources between national and regional levels is the basis for the well-being of our citizens. opportunities for its sustainable socio- economic development on a democratic basis. It is noted that financial decentralization is a process of giving authority to mobilize revenues and expenditures of local governments in order to increase the effectiveness of the implementation of these powers and better management of community budgets. It is established that unlike traditional entrepreneurship, which focuses on profit generation, the purpose of social entrepreneurship is to create and accumulate social capital. Abroad, social enterprises operate successfully in the fields of education, the environment, human rights, poverty reduction and health care, and their development and dissemination is one way to improve the living conditions of citizens. A similar mission is entrusted to local governments, which allows us to consider the revival of social entrepreneurship as an important element in improving self-government policy. It is determined that in modern conditions social entrepreneurship is one of the tools to ensure the ability of the local community to provide its members with an appropriate level of education, culture, health, housing and communal services, social protection, etc., as well as plan and implement programs efficient use of available natural and human resources, investment and infrastructural support of territorial communities. Due to financial decentralization, local governments have received additional resources that can be used to create economic incentives to promote social entrepreneurship in small and medium-sized businesses at the community level.

Key Indicators

This chapter sets out to search for evidence of three possible growth and social development paths pursued by BRICS. It finds one group of countries, say G1, to be good at growth, with another group of countries, G2, not so much. China and India stand out as a group labelled G1 high flyers. Brazil, Russia, and South Africa rank as a group of G2 low flyers. It remains a puzzle that the G1 good growth countries are not all good at social development, and many of the weak growth G2 countries turn out to be much better. Key indicators that are reviewed to understand the paths are the macro-prudential environment, employment and social protection, poverty and vulnerability, human capital, pension coverage, and poverty reduction to understand the challenges for ensuring both growth and social development.

Legal Entities

It has been established that, for many years, special legal entities of state and municipal forms of ownership were created as characteristic of the social protection of citizens. In the modern period of development of organizations, the designated relations are associated with the transfer of state functions to legal entities, regardless of their form of ownership and to individuals. This tendency manifests itself in the creation of a system within which small and medium-sized businesses are also involved in the provision of social services. The article presents an analysis of social services from the standpoint of the systemic construction of relations. It is proposed to understand the social service system as the elements resulting in the provision of social services, these relations are regulated by public and private norms. It is concluded that such services are provided by a special subject composition of organizations and individual entrepreneurs, as well as by state-authorized bodies that coordinate these relations, decide to classify citizens as needy. A comparative analysis of the legislative concept “social service system” and its differences from the “system of social services” is offered. Through the analysis of the convergence of private and public principles, the tendency of convergence of the norms of social security and civil law is revealed. It is proposed to consider the types of social services through the features of social services as a special type of service. A comparison of social service legislation and provisions on social entrepreneurship is given. Identifying trends in the development of law, the author concluded that the legislator, by transferring part of the authority to provide social services to subjects of social entrepreneurship, determines the area of responsibility of each subject of relations, develops a mechanism for providing services through a competitive basis of providers of social services. Social services can be provided by any entity, including non-profit organizations. Social services can be provided by any entity, including non-profit organizations.

Social entrepreneurship, as an established concept, has entered economic life relatively recently. At the same time, this concept has already been reflected in the current legislation. The author analyzes the current legislation on social investment. On the basis of the study, a list of persons who, from the point of view of the state, belong to the least protected is identified and a comparison is made with respect to persons subject to social protection during the USSR. The most acute contradictions of social entrepreneurship are identified. The most acute problem of social entrepreneurship is the lack of funding. The article attempts to classify investments in social entrepreneurship by the ratio of the expected economic benefit and the socially directed effect from traditional investments to charity. The paper notes that the main areas of financial support for social entrepreneurship in Russia can be such well-established financial institutions in developed countries as crowdfunding, social and green bonds, and meson financing. Another important issue related to social entrepreneurship, according to the author, is the place of non-profit organizations in the system of social entrepreneurship. This issue is particularly relevant now, since the current Russian legislation defines social entrepreneurship as commercial enterprises. In conclusion, it is concluded that despite the fact that the trends of social entrepreneurship in recent decades have appeared in developed Western countries, our country has its own rich experience in solving social problems, which can and should be used in the new socio-economic conditions.

Restructuring Process

Na década de 1990 um processo de reestruturação nas organizações não governamentais veio a culminar tanto no desenvolvimento do empreendedorismo social, quanto na profissionalização do terceiro setor. Uma das principais dificuldades dessas organizações ainda está centrada na captação de recursos para manter as suas atividades em funcionamento. Pesquisadores nesta área do conhecimento indicam que os recursos arrecadados devem ser advindos de diferentes segmentos da sociedade como de empresas, pessoas, vendas de material próprio, entre outros. O campo tecnológico, embora em expansão, ainda é pouco explorado como um meio de captação de recursos para organizações sem fins lucrativos. Assim, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo elencar possibilidades de captação de recursos tecnológicos disponíveis às entidades do terceiro setor, e evidenciar de que maneira tais recursos podem ser acessados. Quanto aos processos metodológicos, esta é uma pesquisa exploratória, documental e descritiva, realizada por meio de dados secundários coletados no website de uma empresa do ramo de tecnologias para o setor sem fins lucrativos. Dentre os principais resultados, identificou-se a possibilidade de acesso gratuito a ferramentas tais como Ad Grants, YouTube, GSuit, bem como o acesso às licenças de Softwares da MicrosoftⓇ. Assim, as possibilidades de captação de recursos utilizando ferramentas disponíveis em ciberespaços podem potencializar as atividades fins de organizações sociais.

One of the main difficulties of these organizations is still focused on raising funds to keep their activities running. Researchers in this area of knowledge indicate that the resources collected must come from different segments of society such as companies, people, sales of own material, among others. The technological field, although expanding, is still little explored as a means of raising funds for non-profit organizations. Thus, this research aims to list possibilities for capturing technological resources available to third sector entities, and to show how these resources can be accessed. As for the methodological processes, this is an exploratory, documentary and descriptive research, carried out using secondary data collected on the on the website of a non-profit technology company. Among the main results, the possibility of free access to tools such as Ad Grants, YouTube, GSuit was identified, as well as access to Microsoft Software licensesⓇ. Thus, the possibilities of fundraising using tools available in cyberspace can enhance the end activities of social organizations. Keywords: Technology, non-profit organization, Google, TechSoup.

Poverty Level

Indonesia's poverty condition in March 2019 recorded at 9.41 percent. Supposedly, Indonesia reaches the RPJMN target where the poverty level is planned at a 7-8 percent level. The High levels of rural poverty compared to urban areas exceeded the percentage of national poverty. Low wages are also an indication that the problem of poverty occurs continuously. The purpose of this research is to know how socio-economic variables such as human development, unemployment, wage, and inequality can affect poverty reduction in Indonesia. This research uses secondary data obtained from the website of Statistics Indonesia (BPS) and the Databoks Katadata website. This study uses cross-section data with 34 provincial observations in the year 2019. This research used econometric methodologies with the regression of Ordinary Least Square as an analysis tool. This research show that poverty in Indonesia is still very dominant in the island of Papua, in the provinces of Papua and West Papua and in the island of Nusa Tenggara, in the provinces of West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara. Human development has a negative effect where every human development increase by 1 percent will reduce poverty in Indonesia by 5.69 percent. The declining unemployment rate has contributed to poverty reduction in Indonesia by 0.34 percent. Wages, in this case, can reduce poverty. Increasing wages by 1 percent can reduce poverty by 1.08 percent and vice versa. Reducing inequality by 1 percent can reduce poverty by up to 1.88 percent.Keywords: poverty, HDI, unemployment, wage, inequality
