The lack of opportunities that young people are suffering to find a job as employees in the changing societies we live in, specially since 2008, needs urgently innovative solutions.. Youth unemployment rates are astonishing: Scotland:14.9%; Bulgaria 19.4%; Italy 37.9%; Spain 45.7% . About 400.000 Spanish young people have emigrated since the crisis started, generating brain drain.Traditional ways to recruit, train and develop employments have vanished. Nonetheless, the creation of social enterprises is emerging as an opportunity, in spite of many people still lack the skills, tools and knowledge to launch successful social enterprises. Social enterprises are led by social entrepreneurs: they generate social value (watching for the rights and interests of the most vulnerable people; responding to ecological crisis; eradicating discrimination against certain social groups, hunger, etc). These approaches promote sustainable solutions in the short and long-term for a better society.
