AbstractThis study offers a conceptual analysis of the social economy in China within the context of institutional transition. In China, economic reform has engendered significant social changes. Accelerated economic growth, privatization of the social welfare system, and the rise of civil society explain the institutional contexts in which a range of not-for-profit initiatives, neither state-owned nor capital-driven, re-emerged. They are defined in this research as the social economy in China. This study shows that although the term itself is quite new, the social economy is no new phenomenon in China, as its various elements have a rich historical tradition. Moreover, the impact of the transition on the upsurge of the Chinese social economy is felt not only through direct means of de-nationalization and marketization and, as a consequence, the privatization of China's social welfare system, but also through various indirect means. The development of the social economy in China was greatly influenced by the framework set by political institutions and, accordingly, legal enabling environments. In addition, the link to the West, as well as local historical and cultural traditions, contribute towards explaining its re-emergence. Examining the practices in the field shows that the social economy sector in China is conducive to achieving a plural economy and an inclusive society, particularly by way of poverty reduction, social service provision, work integration, and community development. Therefore, in contemporary China, it serves as a key sector for improving welfare, encouraging participation, and consolidating solidarity.

The central topic of the study was to examine the possibilities of adaptation of the labor force to the structural shifts and conditions of the market economy from the period of the early 1990-s to nowadays in Russia. A large amount of statistical material was used to analyze the professional qualifi cation and educational structure of the employed and unemployed, the change in the social role of occupation. The author focuses on such the most signifi cant form of adaptation as regulated – changes in the educational and professional level of the labour force. The following spontaneous forms of employment were considered: informal employment (the analysis of empirical data of their professional and educational structure was also carried out); internal labor migration; a model of social economy was proposed in the form of a self-organizing labor force based on the experience of some countries. Prospects for change are considered taking into account the arrival of a new generation, its diff erences compared to previous generations, as well as in the light of the impact of institutional and historical factors.

<p class="Textoindependiente21"><span lang="EN-US">The aim of this article is to offer a review of the impact the different methodologies of analysis have on social enterprises, focusing the study on processes that establish a greater universality based on the degree of success achieved in their social objectives, the social reinvestment of their benefits and their democratic organisation, parameters that should favour the creation of a clear and simple method, as well as adaptable to change. The systematics will allow to establish systems for the measurement of the efficiency of social enterprises, in order to both organise objective procedures of comparison and offer support when applying for public aid derived from European and national funds set up for this purpose. The quantification of the social impact of the companies that constitute the social economy is vital to assess and follow up on their social mission.</span></p>

Social economy, as a relatively new concept, is considered the ‘third sector' of the economy in government discourse. It plays significant roles in socio-economic and political spheres of any nation. Emphasis on social economy has been as a result of the global recession which caused economic depression in several countries all over the world. In South Africa, the impact of the economic recession has reflected mostly in increased unemployment and poverty levels resulting in maximization of discrepancies between the rich and poor with inequalities, creating disenabling environments for foreign investments. These social problems have called for an examination of the role of the social economy in liberating the South African economy from its current dire state. This chapter on tracing the developmental agenda of the South African government, will examine how the social economy has fed into the National Development Plan and the impact of implementation of government policies and regulatory frameworks to ensure achievement of various national imperatives aligned to the Millennium Development Goals in the context of the social economy. The authors state that whilst there is a growing trend towards the social economy in the current context of government, multi-faceted effects of poverty needs to be targeted through robust entrepreneurial opportunities for growth and development of the economy.

In recent years, the influence of European law on national social policy has increased substantially. In this respect, the impact of the European competition and procurement law on healthcare and social policy in Germany is particularly significant, affecting the social economy in a specific way. At the same time, the importance of social aspects in community law, for example through the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, is also increasing. This state of affairs demands an examination of not only the mutual influence of different legal fields on and the material and formal organisational alternatives open to social policy in Germany, but also the relationship between solidarity and subsidiarity in this respect. This book contains both up-to-date contributions to an academic conference and further articles on the background to this subject, individual topics related to it and its legal and political consequences. The authors are renowned experts from the fields of law, political science and the wider working world. The book will appeal to those working in the economy and administration as well as academics and other readers interested in examining the consequences of the Europeanisation process for the social economy and health management in Germany in more depth.
