Much of this government support, in terms of public policy and financing (except social cooperative of type “A” in Italy), is however narrowly focused on work integration social enterprises (WISE) mentioned earlier. Public authorities’ legal recognition of social enter- prise integration through work does allow, in most cases, a more stable access to public subsidies, but in a targeted and limited way. Most often only temporary subsidies are granted to start initiatives and to make up for the “temporary unemployability” of the workers (i.e., the difficulty in obtaining employment due to the deterioration of a person’s skills following their extended absence from the labor market) (Nyssens & Kerlin, 2005).
