“…Mas não é apenas nos setores privilegiados do espaço social que o capital social abre uma dimensão analítica relevante para a reconstituição das estratégias de reprodução de agentes e de grupos familiares. Entre as camadas médias, por exemplo, a noção de capital social é frequentemente explorada por Bourdieu como uma dimensão que afeta, positiva ou negativamente, as chances de conversão de capital cultural em capital econômico (SAVAGE;LI;TAMPOBOULON, 2007).…”

Este texto busca adensar e especificar a dimensão analítica aberta pela noção de “capital social” na reconstituição de trajetórias educacionais de jovens de camadas populares urbanas. Apoiando-se tanto em estudos da literatura nacional sobre a temática, quanto em algumas referências internacionais contemporâneas, o texto busca evidenciar não somente a relevância de redes de relação que operam a difusão de fluxos informacionais sobre instituições, carreiras e modos de seleção para o ensino superior (fato que tende a reduzir a distância social e cultural entre jovens do meio popular e o ensino superior), como também o fato, apontado pela literatura internacional, de que tais redes podem se afigurar como suportes relacionais para a conformação de estilos de vida que simbolizam e expressam disposições ao alongamento da trajetória educacional entre jovens do meio popular.

“…Following Goldthorpe's (1987) class schema again, salariat class occupations include higher-and lower-grade professionals, administrators, managers and large proprietors; highergrade technicians; and supervisors of non-manual employees. Research has shown that the deepest class inequalities in social capital are between an apparently engaged and involved salariat class and an apparently increasingly disengaged non-salariat class (Savage et al, 2006;Li et al, 2003). In both TPSE and NELLS, the respondent's class position is measured on the basis of his or her employment status and current (or last main) job.…”

File supplied to Li-Not for distribution The position generator approach to social capital research 167 measures would result in different findings and the implications of such different findings have not been tested. This study gives an overview of the existing research on position generator measures, tracks their popularity over time, and examines the extent to which research results would differ due to the use of different position generator measures. We focus on two research topics: (1) the association between social capital and socioeconomic attainment; and (2) the association between social capital and self-rated health. The relationship between social capital on the one hand and socioeconomic attainment and health on the other lies, among others, at the very heart of the social capital research paradigm, and our choice of these indicators will hopefully provide an appropriate test of the position generator approach. We examine these topics with two large-scale surveys: the Taking Part Surveys of England and the Netherlands Longitudinal Life Course Study. By examining the outcomes in these two domains and using data from the two social contexts, we aim to enhance the generalizability of this study's findings.

“…However, Putnam (2000) argues that since social networks are the key agency, any form of sociability may generate ‘social capital’, informal meetings and encounters as well as organized clubs, etc. Either form of sociability may be a context in which trust and reciprocity can develop and Savage (2005a) cites research suggesting that informal social networks can underpin the creation of formal civil organizations. However, as Putnam notes, because of the greater availability of survey information on organized civil associations, research on the individual antecedents of civil society engagement has tended to concentrate on formal voluntary work, neglecting the informal social networks which underly informal voluntary work.…”

Being a pretty good citizen: an analysis and monetary valuation of formal and informal voluntary work by gender and educational attainment¹

This paper is set in the context of macrosocial/macroeconomic theories of the organization of both paid and unpaid work. The specific topic investigated is engagement in unpaid voluntary work, an activity which is thought to be important for social cohesion, civil society and citizenship. Research on the sources of social cohesion has focused on organizational membership and voluntary organization activity. There has been little investigation of informal helping of non-resident kin, friends or acquaintances, an activity which is not measured in most social surveys but is measured in time use surveys. Previous research shows that the highly educated are more likely to engage in formal voluntary organizations and data from the UK 2000 HETUS survey confirm that the highly educated spend more time on formally organised voluntary work. However, the less qualified, particularly women, spend more time on extra-household unpaid helping activities. Since both types of voluntary work are partly dependent on available time, these findings are modelled adjusting for time allocated to paid work, study, family and personal care. The findings remain statistically significant. Drawing on work carried out by the Office for National Statistics, a monetary value is placed on both formally organized and informal voluntary work. Although the median wage rates for formal voluntary work are greater than those for informal helping, the latter is greater in frequency and duration and therefore more economically valuable from a population perspective. This finding is discussed in the light of recent debates on citizenship and gender.
