Social Entrepreneurship and Immigrant Entrepreneurs
Social entrepreneurship combines the logic of entrepreneurship with socially beneficial goals. The companies operate in the market, but reinvest any profits in the business to achieve their goals. It is common to find so-called work-integrated companies that employ people who are on the margins of the labour market. These are often immigrants, women, or both. Here we have therefore collected works on social entrepreneurship and on immigrant women's entrepreneurship.
