There is a widespread growth of policies to encourage the development of new enterprises and entrepreneurship, however there have been relatively few studies on the relationship between these policies and local economic development. This book fills that gap. It covers three thematic areas: strategy, finance and programmed design, makes recommendations to help the design of entrepreneurship programmes and describes the research that should be undertaken to improve the understanding of key policy issues.

Social enterprises are long-standing agents of inclusive growth and democratisation of the economic and social spheres, and they have proved resilient to economic adversity all the while addressing socio-economic challenges in innovative ways, re-integrating people back to the labour market, and contributing to overall social cohesion. This compendium derives policy lessons for boosting social enterprises from the analysis of 20 initiatives in several EU member-countries, covering a range of policy areas from legal frameworks, finance, market access, and support structures, to education and skills.
