ENThe discourse on social enterprise (SE) in Lithuania emerged at the beginning of the new millennium, together with processes of legal institutionalisation of such types of enterprise. However, until now, the use and understanding of the concept have remained rather limited and fragmented. The coexistence of the conceptually similar - yet different - notions of "social enterprise", "social company" and "social business" makes it difficult for society and academia to have a clear vision. This chapter presents an overview of the general SE context in the country, analysing factors that shaped SE development, and discusses three main models of social enterprise in Lithuania, namely work-integration social enterprises, social-business organisations and entrepreneurial non-profit organisations, and their links to the EMES indicators.
