“…Recent studies have started to focus more on the role of social capital in reducing the income gap of farmers. For example, Wang and Lu (2016) examined the impact of social capital on the farmers' income gap through the shapely value theory of social structure and the total amount of social capital in Shaanxi Province, China. The findings reveal that social capital could inflate small farmers' income gap, and the dimension of social capital can also increase farmers' income gap and structural impact of farmer's income gap on social participation, social trust, and social networks.…”

This study aims to review determinants of the social exclusion (SE) of small farmers in the agriculture sector, which is one of the key approaches to creating sustainable rural development and an integral part of the country’s economic development. The selected group's social and economic underpinnings play a vital role in their productive decision-making regarding rural development. As per the literature review, databases of peer-reviewed scientific publications, and official publications of the relevant fields from 2005 to 2020, it has been deduced that the literature lacks elucidated support on the small landholder (SLH) in defining their marginality and social exclusion. This study particularly attempts to fill this gap by reviewing the comprehensive research of said domains. A precise and effective list of main players in this field to the smallholders throughout the developing and developed countries has been produced. Findings indicate that government interventions in terms of the welfare system, credit facilities, agriculture resources, market access, and farmers’ migration significantly influence decreasing social exclusion, food security, and attainment of the SDGs. Moreover, educational systems through farmer social networks, farmer-based organizations, and farmer field schools help adapt to climate change and the latest agricultural technologies, increase livelihood choices, reduce poverty and inequalities, empower women, and improve the social status of farmers. This is ultimately and positively associated with the social inclusion of small farmers and sustainable economic development.

“…The theory of capital is increasingly relevant in regional studies (Borozan and Funaric, 2016;Bengoa, Román and Pérez, 2017). In particular, through cooperation in collective actions and participation in decision-making, an increase in generalized and institutional trust should act as a means of reducing economic inequality (Knack and Keefer, 1997;Putnam, 2000;Ram, 2012;Wang and Lu, 2016).…”

Social capital is considered a productive resource for societies. The increase in social trust is usually related to both economic growth and a reduction in inequality. In Latin American countries, and particularly the economies that belong to the Pacific Alliance, the relationship between social capital and income inequalities has not been studied at regional level. The paper aims to analyze whether social capital impacts income inequality in the case of the Pacific Alliance regions. Dynamic panel data models were used, covering 72 regions during the period 2002-2011. The results show that the decline in generalized trust and congress trust impacts negatively income inequality, while government trust, police trust and company trust have not effect.
