Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their estimate of the number of people employed by social enterprises in each year since 2010.
The attached “Social Enterprise: Market Trends 2014” report found that the social enterprise sector employed roughly 2.27 million people in 2014. Estimated employment had increased by approximately 300,000 since 2012, when data were last collected. Data for 2016 are being collated and reviewed and will be published later this year.
