Abstract
From their beginnings, social entrepreneurship programmes have focused on integration of marginalised and difficult-to-employ groups on the labour market. Rehabilitated addicts represent one of the marginalised groups of our society, to whom traditional routes of access to the labour market are closed. Some studies indicate nearly twice as much unemployment among rehabilitated addicts than among the general population. Western European countries have managed to leverage the potential of social entrepreneurship to employ marginalised groups, while Central and Eastern European countries, including Croatia, have invested much less effort. This paper deals with comparative analysis of social enterpreneurship programmes, in Croatia and certain other EU countries, that are focused on employment of rehabilitated addicts. The analysis provides recommendations for the improvement of practical activities and social entrepreneurial projects aimed at the better integration of rehabilitated addicts into the labour market.
