Abstract:
The aim of the article is to examine social entrepreneurship as a tool for implementing State sustainable development policy within Ukraine’s public administration system. The article highlights the essence of social entrepreneurship as a form that combines economic efficiency with corporate social responsibility and defines its role in strengthening social cohesion, developing human capital, and supporting vulnerable groups of the population. The methodological basis of the study includes system, comparative, and structural-functional approaches, as well as the analysis of legislative acts, scientific publications, and international experience in implementing sustainable development policy through public-private partnership mechanisms. As a result of the research, it is substantiated that social entrepreneurship is an efficient tool for integrating social initiatives into public administration. Key models of its development have been identified (cross-subsidization, labor integration, social innovation, and hybrid), which ensure the combination of social impact with financial sustainability. Differentiated models of State participation in social enterprises have been proposed, and promising directions for public-private partnerships in the social sphere have been outlined. The practical significance of the obtained results lies in the possibility of using the proposed models to design State and local programs to support social entrepreneurship, improve mechanisms for financing socially significant projects, and enhance the efficiency of community development management. The social consequences of the study are manifested in strengthening social integration, increasing employment, building trust in State institutions, and developing a socially-oriented economy. The originality and scientific value of the article lie in the comprehensive exploration of the relationship between social entrepreneurship and State policy for sustainable development in Ukraine, the identification of a research gap in the field of State regulation of the social economy, and the formulation of a methodological approach to optimizing the State’s role in the development of social enterprises. Further research should focus on examining institutional barriers, digital monitoring tools, and possibilities for integrating Ukrainian experience into the European social economy space.

Keywords: social entrepreneurship, sustainable development, public administration, public-private partnership, corporate social responsibility.
