Abstract
Maģistra darba tēma ir “Sociālās uzņēmējdarbības attīstības iespējas Latvijā”.
Lai gan ir valsts institūcijas, kuru galvenais uzdevums ir risināt sociāla rakstura problēmas, vēl joprojām ir vērojami dažādi izaicinājumi, piemēram, klimata pārmaiņas, nabadzība, dzīvnieku un vides aizsardzība, darba iespējas cilvēkiem ar invaliditāti un nepietiekama sociālā iekļaušana. Arvien vairāk tiek saprasts, ka korporācijas, bezpeļņas organizācijas un valdības nevar patstāvīgi atrisināt cilvēku un planētas problēmas, kas ir veicinājis sociālās uzņēmējdarbības attīstību un izaugsmi. 2021. gada 1. jūlijā stājās spēkā ESF+ regula, kas atbalstīs Eiropas sociālo tiesību pīlāra īstenošanu, ko Padome, Eiropas Parlaments un Komisija kopīgi pasludināja par ES virzienu, lai reaģētu uz sociālajām problēmām Eiropā.
Sociālo uzņēmumu galvenais uzdevums ir piedalīties sociālo problēmu risināšanā sabiedrībā.
Pētījums sastāv no 3 daļām, kur pirmajā daļā tiek apskatīta sociālās uzņēmējdarbības vēsturiskā attīstība, tās loma tirgū, biznesa modeļi un sociālās ietekmes mērīšanas veidi. Otrajā nodaļā tiek pētīta sociālā uzņēmējdarbība Latvijā un Eiropas Savienībā, tas ir, kādi atbalsta instrumenti pastāv, tai skaitā finanšu atbalsts, tiek analizēts Sociālā uzņēmuma likums un sociālo uzņēmumu statistikas rādītāji Latvijā. Pētījuma trešajā nodaļā ir pētījumu metodoloģijas apraksts un pētījumu rezultāti. Darba nobeigumā ir formulēti galvenie secinājumi un priekšlikumi.
Pētījumā tika izmantotas vairākas metodes: monogrāfiskā metode, statistisko datu analīze, grafiskā metode, kvalitatīvā pētījuma metode – ekspertu intervijas - un kvantitatīvā pētījuma metode – aptauja sociālo uzņēmēju vidū. Pētījuma mērķis ir izstrādāt pamatotus secinājumus un priekšlikumus par sociālās uzņēmējdarbības attīstības iespējām Latvijā.
Kvantitatīvās metodes ietvaros tika veiktas intervijas ar sociālās uzņēmējdarbības jomas ekspertiem, kā rezultātā tika identificēti vairāki šķēršļi, ar ko sastopas sociālie uzņēmēji, un attīstības jeb veicināšanās iespējas, kas palīdzētu pārvarēt šos izaicinājumus. Kvantitatīvās metodes ietvaros tika veikta aptauja ar mērķi noskaidrot, kādi ir priekšnoteikumi sociālās uzņēmējdarbības attīstībai sociālo uzņēmēju ieskatā.
Tika secināts, ka sociālā uzņēmējdarbība Latvijā sāka pastiprināti attīstīties pēc Sociālā uzņēmuma likuma stāšanās spēkā, tomēr kopumā jomas attīstība vēl ir lēna, jo sabiedrībā konceptam “sociālā uzņēmējdarbība” ir vāja atpazīstamība un ir nepieciešami vairāki atbalsta instrumenti no valsts un pašvaldību puses, lai veicinātu sociālās uzņēmējdarbības turpmāku izaugsmi.
The topic of the master's thesis is "Opportunities for the development of social entrepreneurship in Latvia". Although there are public institutions whose main task is to address social issues, various challenges still remain, such as climate change, poverty, animal and environmental protection, employment opportunities for people with disabilities and insufficient social inclusion. It is becoming clear that corporations, non-profit organizations and governments cannot solve the problems of people and the planet on their own, which has contributed to the development and growth of social entrepreneurship. On 1 July 2021, the ESF + Regulation entered into force, which will support the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights, which was jointly declared by the Council, the European Parliament and the Commission as the direction of the EU. The main task of social enterprises is to participate in solving social problems in society. The thesis consists of 3 parts, where the first part looks at the historical development of social entrepreneurship, its role in the market, business models and ways to measure social impact. The second chapter examines social entrepreneurship in Latvia and the European Union, i.e., what support instruments exist, analyzes the Social Enterprise Law and social enterprise statistics in Latvia. The third chapter of the thesis contains a description of the research methodology and research results. The main conclusions and proposals are formulated at the end of the work. There were several methods used in the study: the monographic method, the analysis of statistical data, the graphical method, the method of qualitative research - expert interviews - and the method of quantitative research - a survey. The aim of the research is to develop reasonable conclusions and proposals on the development opportunities of social entrepreneurship in Latvia. By using the quantitative method, interviews with social entrepreneurship experts were done, which identified several barriers faced by social entrepreneurs and opportunities for development. Within the quantitative method, a survey was conducted in order to find out what are the preconditions for the development of social entrepreneurship in the opinion of social entrepreneurs. It was concluded that social entrepreneurship in Latvia started to develop more intensively after the entry into force of the Social Enterprise Law, however, in general the development of the field is still slow, because the concept of “social entrepreneurship” is poorly recognized in society and a number of support instruments from the state and local governments are needed to promote the further growth of social entrepreneurship.
