The purpose of the research is to study the development level of a social entrepreneurship at the current stage in Ukraine, to highlight further prospects for its development, reveal scientific and social views on theoretical and practical aspects of social entrepreneurship as a new phenomenon and tendency in economy. Methodology of the Research. To achieve this goal, general scientific and special scientific principles and methods have been applied, as well as the principles of verification, scientific pluralism, systematicity and consistency. The Scientific Novelty. Considering a significant interest in the problem of a social entrepreneurship issue, which can be traced in modern foreign and domestic historiography, there is the need not only to consider theoretical concepts, but also practical aspects of a social entrepreneurship in Ukraine. The full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the hostilities in Ukraine, the introduction of martial law had an impact on a rapid growth of the number of socially vulnerable population groups, absence or a significant weakening of their social protection mechanisms. Therefore, a social entrepreneurship with its socio-practical orientation is capable of helping to partially or completely solve the problems of socially vulnerable population groups. It is worth noting that the study of the dynamics of a social entrepreneurship development in Ukraine, especially in recent years, is an urgent issue. In particular, in the Ukrainian and foreign historiography the main approaches to the interpretation of the term “social entrepreneurship” have been covered, the development dynamics of this type of entrepreneurial activity has been traced, and the key problems that need to be resolved have been outlined in order to increase the number and quality of changes in a social entrepreneurship effectively. The Conclusions. A social entrepreneurship is a type of enterprise in which, in addition to a commercial component, solution of certain social problems is provided. However, tendencies in the contemporary English-language historiography suggest a broader definition, i.e. the idea of the so-called hybrid organization, which offers not only opportunities for a financial enrichment, but also responsibility in the social sphere. It has been determined that from the 1990s to 2022, a positive dynamics of growth in the number of this type of an entrepreneurial activity can be observed in Ukraine. However, due to financial difficulties, a large part of them continue to hire workers unofficially. In Ukraine, a social entrepreneurship, in addition to financial difficulties, faces an insufficient level of grant support (the main help is given by foreign investors), in particular domestic funds, organizations, including the public sector. Legislative regulation of this type of an entrepreneurial activity also requires further development.
Key words: social entrepreneurship in Ukraine, social business, sociality.
