Despite the discussion of social sustainability, which has been a crucial component of sustainable development for decades, unfortunately, the desired successful outcomes have not been realized in practice. This
failure caused the need to examine the concept of social sustainability differently than ever before. Social
entrepreneurship is a valuable tool to meet this need. Concordantly, this chapter purposes to evaluate
the relations between social sustainability and social entrepreneurship by comprehensively analyzing
them. Discussing this relationship and proposing a new perspective will support overcome theoretical
dilemmas and practical struggles. Therefore, the concept of sustainability was explained in detail through
a wide literature review, and then the concept of social entrepreneurship was examined, and links, similarities, and gaps were revealed between the two concepts. As a result, the effective implementation of
social sustainability policies depends on the social impact and value created by social entrepreneurship.
