The article discusses the process of formation and prerequisites for the development of social entrepreneurship in the Republic of Belarus. The relevance of the development of this process in the Republic of Belarus is associated with limited financial resources and the state ability to carry out social transformations and solve social problems. The establishment and development of the social entrepreneurship institution will help reduce the burden on the state budget, increase the well-being of citizens, and support social stability. Analysis of the available data revealed the industrial distribution of social entrepreneurship in the Republic of Belarus and its target groups. The lack of a unified approach to the definition of social entrepreneurship, the issues of legitimizing its functioning, and the difficulty of statistical analysis require further work on creating the necessary conditions for its promotion and development. Despite all these facts, the given practical examples of models for the development of social entrepreneurship in the Republic of Belarus indicate an active process of development of this phenomenon.
