Social Capital
Long before the term became fashionable, people living in one-party states with non-market economies had become social capitalists, relying on networks of friends and friends of friends to get things done. Every Barometer questionnaire from spring, 1991 onwards has collected multiple indicators of networks that people use to get by amidst the upheavals of transition.
Instead of relying on inadequate second-hand indicators of social capital, the CSPP has developed a special-purpose questionnaire for measuring forms of social capital, systematically collecting data on whether and how networks are used to produce house repairs, income security, employment, safety on the streets, food and other goods and services, especially health. Because social capital networking often does not involve money, it is particularly important in developing countries. See the CSPP's special social capital website and the following Studies in Public Policy (SPP).
