WP33 Objectives

The aim of the packages is:

• There exists already relatively reliable knowledge on social capital, its “accumulation” at the national level, differences across social strata, as well as national and even international level of cross country comparisons. However, relatively little is known of the local formation of the social capital at the voluntary organizations, work places and even within the families. This work package will explore the wide variety of social capital research.
• The aim of this Work Package is to investigate and compare the local formation and organization of social capital at the variety of settings, ranging from work places to associations and private sphere. Different theoretical fields for research are included.

WP33 Description of work

Comparative analyses of social capital based on secondary analyses using national and local, regional data on social capital formation at the different spheres. This work package will organize planning meeting and international conference, it will also benefit from the Academy of Finland research programme on Social Capital and its conference and will collaborate with WP25D. The international conference will be held in October 2007.
