Claude.ai summary of Kadushin, C. (2012). Networks as Social Capital, in Kadushin, C. (2012). Understanding Social Networks. Theories, Concepts and Findings. Oxford: Oxford University Press. | |||
Social capital refers to the resources and benefits that accrue to individuals and groups through their social networks. The concept has roots in sociological theories about social structure and community, with key early contributions by Bourdieu and Coleman. Social capital exists at both the individual and community level. At the individual level, social capital refers to the resources someone can access through their personal network ties. Measures like the position generator assess the range of occupational statuses an individual can reach. Research shows that those with more diverse networks and ties to higher status occupations tend to have better jobs and social mobility. However, social capital is unevenly distributed, with disadvantaged groups often having access to fewer valuable resources. | Social capital refers to the resources and benefits that accrue to individuals and groups through their social networks.
