Abstract: Starting from the premise that, under the circumstances of the present economic crisis, the understanding and capitalization of social economy are essential, the hereby paper attempts at emphasizing the need of developing this field, mainly owing to its capacity of creating and providing jobs. Relying on the hypothesis according to which social economy has strengthened its position of alternative form of economic development founded upon social and economic values and principles (volunteering, democracy, non-patrimonial goals, professional development of its members, and autonomy before the State), we consider that this field both displays a manner of developing businesses according to the principles of social equity and responsibility and represents an important source of jobs and a significant contributor to the GDP. At the same time, we should notice the fact that the forms of social economy play an important part in settling economic and social issues, providing a range of activities and services whose demand is not always properly covered by private or public entities.
