사회적기업 활성화를 위한 법정책적 과제

The main purpose of this article is to review legal policy improvement measures to foster social enterprises. To this end, the general theory of social enterprises was reviewed, and the current law related to social enterprises and legislation in other countries were compared to the CIC regulation of the UK, the social enterprises law of Italy and Benefit corporate laws of Delaware and Oklahoma in the USA. Through these discussions, legal and policy improvement measures were proposed to revitalize Korean social enterprises through consistent policy promotion of social enterprises and cooperation between the two based on private creativity and innovation. Specific improvement measures were reviewed: first, the necessity of reorganization of the Framework Act on Social Economy, second, revision of preferential purchase regulations by public institutions under the Social Enterprise Act, third abolition of various types of corporate recognition and certification requirements, and fourth, limited profits for linked companies. It is desirable that interest in the need to foster social enterprises will once again increase at a time when legal and policy improvement measures to revitalize social enterprises require a sense of social solidarity more than ever through this study.
