Behind the scene of Human
Capital

2. What is it?
 a variety of different entities with two
elements in common: they all consist of a
social structure, and they facilitate certain
actions of actors- whether personal or
corporate actors- within the structure
 For the majority of writers it has been defined
in terms of networks, norms and trust and the
way these allow agents and institutions to be
more effective in achieving common
objectives.

3.  Financial income and parental education are two
determinates of child wellbeing rooted in a long
tradition of sociological and economic research
 Third component-Relationships which have two
parts- structure and its quality
 to look at relationships and the way they assist
children in attaining life outcomes

4. Key Findings
 Bonding social capital-examining the effect of
parental decision on the educational level of
children
 Bridging social capital-effect of professional
networks and career counselling on education
attainment
 use of Logistic regression because of the nature of
the responses and the type of variables entering
into the function

5.  Future career decision based outside the family
circle is explained by the trust on the information
gathered so far and the effect of that information
on education
 higher educational outcomes depend on the
income of the households
 implicit view that the education attainment until
now is primarily based on decisions within the
family

6. Conclusion
 Future education decisions depend on the level of
education acquired till date
 Trust professional networks also depends on the
satisfaction level from our previous outcomes
 Women do not have equal trust on the outside
family bounds as men do
 Need to look backwards into the factors shaping
the human capital outcomes
