Features of the social impact of entrepreneurship on socio-economic development in the Ivano-Frankivsk region

Abstract

The article examines the social impact of entrepreneurial activity in the Ivano-Frankivsk region in the conditions of a full-scale military invasion. It is determined that entrepreneurship not only ensures the economic development of the region, but also plays a key role in supporting social stability, creating jobs, providing employment for internally displaced persons and implementing social initiatives. The current trends in social entrepreneurship, its role in the development of local communities and overcoming the consequences of the war are analyzed. 

The need for new approaches to doing business taking into account social responsibility and the implementation of European standards of social entrepreneurship is substantiated. The dynamics of key socio-economic indicators of entrepreneurial activity in the region are presented, in particular, changes in the number of employed people, volumes of products sold and labor costs. The growing importance of social enterprises as a mechanism for solving acute social problems, especially in conditions of limited human and material resources, is emphasized. 

Particular attention is paid to the Program for the Development of Social Entrepreneurship in Ivano-Frankivsk, which contributes to the expansion of the network of social enterprises and the implementation of socially beneficial projects. The prospects for the further development of social entrepreneurship as a strategic direction for the recovery of the Ukrainian economy and strengthening social protection of the population are determined. Recommendations are proposed for supporting social entrepreneurship, including the expansion of state funding programs, stimulating investments in socially responsible projects and the active involvement of citizens in the implementation of initiatives aimed at ensuring sustainable development of the region. The importance of attracting international experience in the field of social entrepreneurship and adapting the best practices of developed countries to Ukrainian realities is additionally emphasized. The need for active cooperation between state bodies, business and civil society is emphasized in order to form effective support for social enterprises. An important aspect is the expansion of educational initiatives in this area, which will allow future entrepreneurs to master modern approaches and implement innovative solutions.
