A chapter in Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Fourth Sector, 2021, pp 283-297 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Extremadura is a developing region in the west of Spain, in Europe, where the Fourth Sector could grow up under the social, green and circular economy strategy promoted by the public authorities as regional policy. However, the Fourth Sector is not adequately characterized in the region, so it is difficult to place such initiatives on the map. Its economic weight, environmental and social value are also unknown, and even the promoters of the ideas themselves do not know that their activity is located within the Fourth Sector or their activity covers some of the different Sustainable Development Goals, since there is no public register of companies that develop their activity in the Fourth Sector. Due to the current unknowledge about this economic sector, this chapter approach the sector in the region through a quantitative-qualitative research to seed light for practitioners and policymakers.
