description Globalization and new technologies generate sources of wealth that allow the transformation of social, economic and institutional structures through the production of goods and services. These actions have a positive effect for society when they favor the distribution of benefits over individual enrichment. The growing importance of social economy as an alternative for the achievement of local development has generated the interest of public institutions, the civil society and the scientific community. The objective of this research was twofold: Firstly, it aimed at analyzing the indicators of the acceptance of the social economy concept by public authorities, social economy companies and the academic-scientific world of different countries from Latin America and Europe. Secondly, it intended to identify homogeneous groups of the variables: social economy companies and jobs, using Ward’s method of hierarchical cluster analysis. To this end, data from 17 countries from Latin America and 27 from Europe was studied. This data was obtained from di erent databases and reports from the 2010-2012 period. The countries with the greatest acceptance of the concept of social economy are those of Europe, which, unlike Latin American countries, construct larger conglomerates, with respect to the number of social economy enterprises and jobs. The countries of Latin America require greater e orts to make social economy a strategic part of local development consolidation, as it is the case in European countries.

La globalización y las nuevas tecnologías generan fuentes de riqueza que permiten transformar las estructuras sociales, económicas e institucionales, a través de la producción de bienes y servicios, con un efecto positivo para la sociedad, cuando estas acciones propician la distribución de los benefecios por encima del enriquecimiento individual. La creciente importancia de la economía social, como alternativa para el logro del desarrollo local, ha generado el interés de instituciones públicas, sociedad civil y comunidad científica. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar los indicadores de la aceptación del concepto de economía social por parte de autoridades públicas, empresas de economía social y mundo académico-científico de diferentes países de Latinoamérica y Europa; e identificar grupos homogéneos de las variables: empresas de economía social y empleos, utilizando el método jerárquico de análisis de cluster Ward. Para ello, se estudiaron 17 países de Latinoamérica y 27 de Europa, obtenidos de distintas bases de datos durante el periodo 2010 a 2012, así como de algunos informes. Los países con mayor aceptación del concepto de economía social son los de Europa, quienes, a diferencia de los países de Latinoamérica, forman conglomerados más grandes, con respecto al número de empresas de economía social y de empleos. Los países de Latinoamérica requieren mayores esfuerzos para lograr que la economía social sea parte estratégica en la consolidación del desarrollo local, como sucede en los países de Europa.
