Between the private and public sectors of the economy, the field of collective action is developing. From the field of collective actions, which is characterized as "social sector", whose goal is to serve the interests of a specific social group, there is a category of economic units, which aim to meet social needs, either by carrying out specific actions or because in specific population groups. Among the subjects active in the field of collective actions, one can distinguish a category, the object of which focuses on the connection of actions with society, in contrast to other categories, which are mainly aimed at promoting the interests of their members . The institution of the social economy is relatively new in the Greek legal order, in contrast to the countries of Europe.
