About the eBook

Building upon the extensive and expansive tradition of research on social capital and inequality, this Handbook summarizes current social capital research and showcases cutting-edge applications.



With a global range of diverse expert contributors, this Handbook explores quantitative and qualitative approaches to a broad array of substantive topics, including health, social media, disasters, crime, and employment. Chapters highlight the major theoretical and methodological advancements in the field, examining applications to affective and community-based outcomes and applications to instrumental and career-based outcomes. Ultimately, the Handbook provides a comprehensive review of the diversity of research on the resource of social capital and its relationship with the creation and maintenance of different forms of inequality.



Interdisciplinary in scope, this Handbook is a vital resource for students and scholars of sociology and social policy, economics, education, communications, management, demography, social networks, and public administration. Its innovative theorizing and novel empirical contributions will also be of use to policymakers working to reduce inequality across communities.
