Abstract: Abstract In recent decades, the gendered dimensions of management, organizations, and traditional entrepreneurship have been disclosed by research. The expanding practice of social entrepreneurship raises questions about whether similar patterns are reconstructed there too, or whether gender is constructed differently in this field. In this chapter, the results from a number of studies are combined with a problematization of social entrepreneurship’s specific context—its close connection with how welfare services are organized, including both the public sector and the third sector—to address questions about gender. There are challenges in the shape of the complexity of the issues and a lack of sufficient data, which means it is as much an exploration as an analysis of such practices, but even so it is possible to indicate the gender systems and gender order in the emerging field of social entrepreneurship.
