Entrepreneurship, in its diversity of types and forms, is the basis for the development of socio-economic systems, and its impact on the labor market is crucial - from general economic and employment to social stratification through income differentiation. At the same time, the impact of social entrepreneurship is certainly much broader and stronger than the development of small and medium-sized businesses. Its unique role is to form a significant share of GDP, provide employment, including socially exclusive segments of the population, and target a large set of community problems. These features require a study of the impact of social entrepreneurship on the labor market of Ukraine in terms of global goals of sustainable development, which is the purpose of this article. In the course of the research the authors relied on the theoretical and methodological basis of social entrepreneurship, laid by the works of domestic scientists, documents in the field of sustainable development, legal and strategic documents of Ukraine, official statistics and used methods of statistical analysis. The hierarchy of sustainable development goals and their relationship with social entrepreneurship and the labor market are studied. Social entrepreneurship is defined as a specific type of entrepreneurial activity, with a social purpose and mission, which is aimed at solving problems and obtaining social, economic, innovative effects and effects of sustainability and scale. The dual nature of social entrepreneurship is defined, which, on the one hand, is aimed at solving the problems of humanity by achieving the goals of sustainable development, and on the other hand - is one of the areas described in them and which requires support. It is pointed out that social entrepreneurship has a much broader impact on the labor market than ordinary entrepreneurship. A descriptive model of the impact of social entrepreneurship on the labor market is proposed, identifying three types of impacts that depend on the delay in time. Based on the model of influence and the results of statistical analysis, the key directions of social entrepreneurship development are proposed: youth entrepreneurship; entrepreneurship of persons of pre-retirement age; women's entrepreneurship; entrepreneurship of special categories of the population; entrepreneurship of labor re-emigrants. A promising area of further research is the development of a strategy for the development of social entrepreneurship in Ukraine, taking into account the needs of the labor market.
