| Annotation | Social capital has become a key concept underpinning much Government policy-making and a topic of debate in academic circles. The 5-year programme of research being undertaken by Families and Social Capital ESRC Research Group (see www.sbu.ac.uk/families) concerns the interrelationships between the dynamics of family life and processes of social capital. This working paper explores the foundations for the Families Group programme of work. The authors review how families and the nature of family life are addressed in mainstream theorising of social capital. They consider critiques of social capital as a basis for both understanding social processes and as a remedy for the ills of contemporary society. They discuss the key issues arising out of an examination of the dynamics of family life and processes of social capital in relation to intimacy, education and employment, and ethnicity. (RH). |
