Work-Integrated Social Enterprises – Status Report, Challenges, and Potential Areas for Development (2016)

One of the major social challenges we face today is growing social exclusion, and one of the causes of this is unemployment. This report aims to explore some new ways to create jobs, particularly for people who are far removed from the labor market. These may include people with disabilities, those with immigrant backgrounds, or those stuck in long-term unemployment, etc. In this report, we will examine some of the initiatives currently underway to create jobs for these groups through the growth of social entrepreneurship, with the primary goal of getting people into employment.
