| Annotation | Recent government evidence, submitted by the Cabinet Office to the UK Parliament's Environmental Audit Committee as part of their inquiry on well-being, highlighted the need for better evidence and further in-depth research to better understand social capital. This article provides an analysis of inequalities in social capital by age and sex in the UK, using the latest available data. The data are based on 25 headline measures, which cover 4 key aspects of social capital: personal relationships; social network support; civic engagement and trust; and cooperative norms. This article explores inequalities in social capital by looking at differences in age and sex in the UK using the latest available data. It follows a baseline analysis of social capital in the UK published earlier in 2015. It allows policy makers to identify the areas where action may be best targeted to address differences in social capital by age and sex. As part of the ONS's Measuring National Well-being Programme, it is helping to better understand social capital, using data from existing sources. |
