Preferred term

social capital and economic development  

Definition

  • The idea of social capital has been applied in numerous substantive domains, ranging from public health and education to family studies and criminology. Indeed, social capital's capacity to generate theoretical, empirical, and policy advances across so many fields in the past ten years largely explains why it has drawn so much attention.
