Description
Abstract
A social enterprise besides mobilizing resources and generating employment responds to social problems usually ignored by institutions. We study key factors that may influence social enterprise creation. Particularly, we analyze the social entrepreneur's profile taking into account economic development and comparing results with non-social entrepreneurs. This will allow to design more effective policies that encourage the creation of social enterprises. Using a sample of 12,061 social entrepreneurs in 59 countries in different stages of economic development from the database of the GEM Project of the year 2015. The results point out that the influence of the variables varies with the level of economic development of the country analyzed.
