Mapping the Social Impact Investing Market in Germany: An Overview of Opportunities in the Education Space

This Rockefeller Foundation report Mapping the Social Impact Investing Market investigates how the German impact investing market can help solve socially systemic issues, such as unequal educational opportunities, long-term unemployment, and poverty. Research shows that social impact investing in the education space is still in its infancy in Germany, driven by few players and limited government involvement.

From original article:

"We are not arguing for the replacement of the welfare state, which has served Germany well. However, we believe that targeted social impact investments in carefully selected areas might effectively complement the government’s activities. Social impact investing should not be discussed as a universal remedy or an end in itself, but as a supporting means to help solve the social challenges Germany faces. We are eager to see how the German social impact investing market will develop over the coming years."
