Abstrakt
Between the people and regions they inhabit an unequality of chances originates since the
very beginning. It did not prove successful to eliminate this unequality in the course of history
and at present we meet with it also in existing market economy based on free business for the
purpose of profit acquirement. Particularly unemployed people, new school graduates
without previous practice, people with insufficient education, people in pre-pension age,
people without convenient housing , poor people and mothers with small children are exposed
to those social inequalities. Furthermore also persons who have found themselves - for
various reasons – out of the main society stream and have lost adequate living background, especially housing and employment, and subsequently financial income as well. A specific
group consists of people with health problems, healthwise or otherwise handicapped people,
people dependent on drugs, homeless people, people after return from sentence, from mental
homes, after return from a long-term illness, and others. A modern group consists of
immigrants and refugees, particularly without professional and language knowledge, and
ethnical minorities.
This problem is so much important that even European Union tries to solve it. A
fundamental objective is seen in achievement of maximum employment. The European
Commission in ensuring this commitment recommends to take aim at the sphere of social
economy, above all at activities connected with providing payed as well as unpayed services,
at repeated introduction of disadvantaged groups of citizens into working process and at
creation of equal conditions between groups of citizens, including among men and women.
Social economy in European Union countries comprises round 900,000 enterprises and
represents about ten per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) and employment. Social
economy is a part of a social and economic model of the future European Union. The
European Union enforces a principle of solidarity and differences both between different
groups of citizens and between different regions. EU leans upon social economy enterprises
which are already well introduced in the given locality and follow necessary relations with
local authorities, and enterprises that set themselves an aim to prevent exclusion of some
persons from domain of common society, and which on the contrary follow their introduction
into this society.
Within the European Union countries it has been striven for social enforcement of these
people by different means, among which an important role is played by the so-called social
economy. Social economy belongs as yet in our country among conceptions which only very
hardly penetrace into current life, namely also on the level of terminology/conceptuality.
Therefore it is desirable that possibilities, methods and conditions for their return should
be found , i.e. to establish social inclusion and restrict social exclusion as much as possible.
This has been the main reason of origination of HEFAISTOS Development Partnership.
