Abstract

The purpose of this study is to take a look the situation of social enterprises under CIVID-19 Pandemic and to suggest future directions. The COVID-19 pandemic which started at the end of 2019, has influenced the various areas of our society, such as health, economic, social and networking. The virus is spread through human respiratory, and it is working as a disability factor in human focused social economy. Under the COVID-19 pandemic situation, Social entrepreneurs are being constrained in financial aspects. In the process of continuing pandemic, the size of the social economy has been expanded and cleaning & health businesses are showing economic performance. This is to tell the fact that social economy is solving COVID-19 issues based on a reciprocity and solidarity. To create a sustainable ecosystem for the social economy, we should select and promote universal and concrete future directions at the economic and social safety net building level rather than to respond to COVID-19.

본 연구는 COVID-19 팬데믹 하에서 사회적경제기업의 상황을 살펴보고 미래과제를 제시하는데 있다. 2019년말 시작된 COVID-19 팬데믹이 현재까지 건강, 경제, 사회, 네트워킹 등 우리 사회의 다양한 영역에 영향을 미치고 삶을 황폐하게 하고 있다. 바이러스가 호흡기를 통해 전염되는 것으로, 사람 중심의 사회적경제에 장애요인으로서 작용될 것이며, 주요하게는 재정적인 부분에서 기업가들의 활동을 규제하는 모양새로 나타나고 있다. 다만, 팬데믹이 지속되는 과정 속에서도 사회적경제의 규모는 확대되었으며, 청소위생 및 보건업을 중심으로 경제적인 성과와 함께 지역사회 속에서 사회적 성과를 달성하고 있다는 것에서 호혜와 협력에 기반한 사회적경제기업의 협업을 통해 COVID-19 이라는 문제를 해결하고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 사회적경제의 건강한 생태계 조성을 위해서는 COVID-19에 일차원적으로 대응하기 보다는 경제사회적 안전망 구축차원에서 사회적경제의 지속가능성을 담보할 수 있는 보편적이고 구체적인 미래 과제를 선정, 추진해야 할 것이다.
