More than work integration strategy for the delimitation of a population of social economy actors for a monitor of the social economy in Flanders
Journal Contribution - Journal Article
In this paper, we aim to develop a conceptualization and delimitation
of social enterprises in Flanders, which will be the starting point for a monitor of
the social economy in Flanders. We aim for this monitor to represent reality, that is
to be in line with the international academic research while also being informed by
policy visions and validated by representatives in the field. To achieve this, we studied
academic literature and definitions of social enterprises, as well as in policy documents.
We then translated these definitions into ten criteria defining social enterprises in
Flanders, via focus groups with the representatives of social enterprises in Flanders.
