SOCIAL STABILITY & GROWTH
Strengthening relationships that serve as a safety net (family & friends) and alliances that expand opportunities for growth

The Challenge

Social networks may be smaller or weaker for low-income individuals because they lack family or other social connections to institutions, such as higher education, that are critical for upward mobility. In addition they may also have fewer connections to high-status individuals or institutions that can help provide valuable opportunities.

For individuals, social capital is important because it is a source of power and influence that helps people to “get by” and “get ahead.” The adage: “It’s not just what you know, but who you know” relates to the powerful effects and importance of social capital.
