Abstract

Social and economic cohesion also means reducing regional differences and supporting underdeveloped regions. This, however, can be achieved by increasing the efficiency and competitiveness of the regions and by the expansion of the employment. If in the underdeveloped regions the profit motivated sector does not offer enough job, not even in atypical forms, than it is worth searching in an other sector. Therefore social organizations are expected to offer more perspective opportunities. Supporting the social organizations’ employment programs, so creating employment opportunities beyond the primary economic sectors is a potential way. The primary task for regional researches is to designate the most disadvantageous regions in Europe, to size up the possible ways of increasing employment, and then to make suggestion to the decision-makers in behalf of social organizations. Accordingly the organizational, functional, employment, financial and co-operational opportunities and limits of Hungarian non-profit organizations are being analyzed in this paper.
