Development of Social Entrepreneurship in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) at the Present Stage

This paper presents an analysis of the current situation, reflecting the level of development and distribution on the territory of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) of such a relatively new type of activity as social entrepreneurship. Analysis of the features of the formation of the sphere of social entrepreneurship by districts of the RS (Y) in the period from 2017 to 2023 includes consideration of quantitative characteristics and structural changes, assessment of the level of activity in the territorial context and by type of activity. Social entrepreneurship is of particular relevance in Russia in connection with the introduction of a special tax regime “Tax on professional income”, since support measures are also provided for self-employed citizens if they carry out socially useful activities. As the results of the study showed, the distribution of socially oriented enterprises in the territory of the republic is extremely uneven, the placement of social business structures, like any other, gravitates towards cities, requiring a developed infrastructure. Nevertheless, given the specifics of social entrepreneurship, its purpose, a great need for it, perhaps, is felt, on the contrary, in places deprived of the full comfort and benefits of civilization, such as, for example, the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), where there are more social and economic problems that socially oriented activities would help to solve. Unfortunately, such territories are not particularly attractive for commercial business structures, even those that position themselves as socially oriented. Support measures in the form of subsidies offered under specially developed state programs are intended to influence the situation properly.
