В современных условиях, когда поиск инновационных механизмов для решения социальных проблем является особенно актуальным, социальное предпринимательство характеризуется как уникальный сектор, который сочетает экономическую эффективность с социальной миссией, позволяя повышать качество жизни населения, развивать человеческий капитал и снижать социальную уязвимость. Объектом исследования выбрана Карагандинская область — индустриально развитый регион с высоким уровнем урбанизации и значительной долей социально уязвимых групп населения. Развитие социального предпринимательства в регионе имеет важное значение для диверсификации экономики, расширения занятости и снижения дефицита социальной инфраструктуры. Однако сохраняется ряд актуальных социально-экономических проблем, таких как наличие монопрофильных городов, отток молодежи, ограниченность рабочих мест в сельской местности и необходимость обеспечения доступности социальных услуг. Увеличение государственной поддержки третьего сектора, включая принятие в 2021 году законодательства о социальном предпринимательстве, расширение инструментов государственно-частного партнерства и внедрение государственных программ для социального бизнеса, открывают новые возможности для развития региона. Тем не менее, несмотря на имеющиеся ресурсы и институциональные предпосылки, потенциал социального предпринимательства в Карагандинской области реализован не в полной мере. В связи с этим в ходе исследования проведен комплексный анализ состояния социального предпринимательства в регионе, рассмотрены его внутренние и внешние факторы. Для системной оценки сильных и слабых сторон, возможностей и угроз социального предпринимательства применен метод SWOT-анализа. Цель исследования — выявить ключевые факторы, определяющие развитие социального предпринимательства в Карагандинской области, оценить региональные особенности и имеющийся потенциал, а также разработать рекомендации по эффективному включению социального предпринимательства в политику регионального развития.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This study analyzes the role of social entrepreneurship as a key tool for addressing regional socio-economic challenges. In the current context, where the search for innovative mechanisms to solve social problems is particularly relevant, social entrepreneurship is social vulnerability. The study focuses on the Karaganda region, an industrially developed area with a high level of urbanization and a significant share of socially vulnerable groups.</p><p>Developing social entrepreneurship in the region is crucial for diversifying the economy, expanding employment, and reducing deficits in social infrastructure. However, several socio-economic challenges remain relevant, including the persistence of single-industry towns, youth outmigration, limited employment opportunities in rural areas, and the need to improve access to social services. Increased state support for the third sector, including the adoption of legislation on social entrepreneurship in 2021, the expansion of public-private partnership instruments, and the implementation of state programs for social businesses, has created new opportunities for regional development. Nevertheless, despite available resources and institutional conditions, the Karaganda region has not yet realized the full potential of social entrepreneurship. Therefore, the study conducts a comprehensive analysis of the current state of social entrepreneurship in the region, examining its internal and external factors. The study employed a SWOT analysis to systematically evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of social entrepreneurship. The study aims to identify the key factors influencing the development of social entrepreneurship in the Karaganda region, assess regional characteristics and available potential, and develop recommendations for effectively integrating social entrepreneurship into regional development policy.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>социальное предпринимательство</kwd><kwd>социальные инновации</kwd><kwd>государственная поддержка</kwd><kwd>экономика региона</kwd><kwd>малый и средний бизнес (МСБ)</kwd><kwd>общественные инициативы</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>social entrepreneurship</kwd><kwd>social innovation</kwd><kwd>state support</kwd><kwd>regional economy</kwd><kwd>small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)</kwd><kwd>community initiatives</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Жантелеуова Г., Турмаханбетова Ш., Майдырова А.
