The factors that can affect the household poverty and living standard have been investigated with innovative econometric technique that is binary logit model and ordered logit model by using Stata software. The empirical analysis of this study is based on fresh data. The data is collected through a household survey method from the rural and urban areas of district Lodhran of Pakistan. A questionnaire was developed to collect primary data which covered the household loan amount, household assets, and household expenditures. The questionnaires were distributed among 220 respondents. We selected total 19 variables: eleven variables to analyze the factors responsible for household poverty and eight variables to measure the household living standard. High value of Living standard shows high living standard and low value shows lower living standard. The empirical evidence shows that the variables such as gender, married status, chronicle diseases, purpose of loans, number of loans taken, amount of loan, Lives Stock, Monthly savings, total number of household members are found impacting poverty significantly while the impact of transport facility, years of schooling and ownership of land were found insignificant. While measuring poverty level we followed World Bank poverty line which is $ 1.25 (Rs.3750) per capita per adult monthly income and expenditure. The data shows that 137 (62.3 percent) households are living below poverty line while 83 households are living above poverty line. We find that 169 households (76.8 percent of the total sample) have good living standard while 20 households (9.1 percent) have high living standard whereas 31 households (14.1 percent), have very low living standard.","PeriodicalId":170603,"journal":{"name":"Social Entrepreneurship eJournal","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117103365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Emergence of the Social Innovation Community: Towards Collaborative Changemaking?","authors":"T. Toivonen","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2369540","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2369540","url":null,"abstract":"Notwithstanding important advances in explaining the behaviour of social entrepreneurs, the logic of their business models and patterns of social innovation, the field of social entrepreneurship and innovation has not yet adequately dealt with collaborative phenomena. This sociological paper therefore sets out, based on ethnographic observation and illustrative examples, a framework through which the collaborative dimension can be systematically investigated. It explains that collaborative activity in the social entrepreneurship field increasingly concentrates in so-called Social Innovation Communities. Such entities are driven by distinctive cultures of changemaking as well as by a combination of face-to-face and digital interactions/spaces. From Helsinki and Vienna to Toronto and London, Social Innovation Communities — including those formed around Impact HUBs — are now emerging across the world. They are reducible neither to “networks,�?“communities of practice�? or “ecosystems,�? but should rather be viewed as collaborative communities that have the potential to rewire wider social innovation circuits in a given area. By convening diverse participants, accelerating processes of learning and enhancing creative capabilities, Social Innovation Communities can catalyze the transition towards inventive, sustainable economies. They may evolve into the nerve centres of the kinds of “open-solution societies�? envisioned by Dees (2013) where practical and theoretical lessons (in relation to social innovation) are brought into constant dialogue. A range of approaches, from Social Network Analysis and Social Capital Theory to ethnographic methods, can be fruitfully applied to the further study of these entities and the innovation processes they facilitate.","PeriodicalId":170603,"journal":{"name":"Social Entrepreneurship eJournal","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131819695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The term appeared in the public discourse rather late, in 2006, and since then has increased to the point where a strategy for social entrepreneurship has been initiated. However, this has not been followed by actual growth of social entrepreneurship initiatives. Also, social entrepreneurship has not yet been properly studied and systematic insights are lacking. The paper continues on from the findings of the author’s PhD research and its intention is to provide an understanding of the socio-economic, political and cultural context in which social entrepreneurship emerges, as well as an overview of the current stage of its development in Croatia. The main focus was put on the analysis of institutional development, including the legal and financial framework. Therefore, a comparative overview of organizational and legal forms currently suitable for social entrepreneurship has been presented. The analysis points out the main advantages and limitations of the present framework and analyses how particular actors and processes are shaping the direction of further development of social entrepreneurship in Croatia.","PeriodicalId":170603,"journal":{"name":"Social Entrepreneurship eJournal","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123415818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
