Abstract

Social entrepreneurship education (SEE) has recently emerged as an active area of research owing to its practical significance and role in promoting social problem solving, increasing social welfare, and developing a sustainable national economy. The study on SEE is overwhelming; a review of current research on SEE shows a lack of studies classifying existing SEE research on many topics. To bridge this gap, we review SEE articles published in scientific journals covering the period 2000 up to March 2020. The “Nvivo” software was used to perform a content analysis, significantly filter themes, and provide future research pathways. This study is the first to perform an exhaustive review of SEE research. The classification of recent SEE research into research themes can provide a theoretical background, outline the breadth of research on a particular topic of interest, and provide answers to practical questions.
