In this article, we conductedan in-depth study through a bibliometric analysisof the scientific literature that addresses the reality of thesocial economy (in its different expressions) from a genderperspective. This enabled the establishment of theconceptual, intellectual and social structure of the scientificresearch literature related to these two realities.Among 703 initial articles derived from Web of Scienceand Scopus queries, 250 were studied and processedusing the Bibliometrix tool after harmonization. Thefindings reveal the world’s leading positions of Spainand the United Kingdom in terms of related scientificproduction,which is reflected aswell in the case of scientificcollaboration networks. Also relevant is the findingof women’s empowerment in the social economy as anemerging topic related to Sustainable Development Goal5, ‘Gender equality’. These results will help researchersunderstand and acknowledge the social economy as areality inherently connected to the gender perspective,promoting a more cohesive academic community thatwill lay the groundwork for future research.
