转型时期居民家庭社会资本累积研究

The Accumulation of Family Social Capital in Economic Transition

社会资本与物质资本、人力资本一样是解释经济发展水平差异的重要因素,从微观层面上衡量的社会资本可以由家庭成员建立的关系网络及其行为得到反映,转型时期居民家庭的社会资本累积主要由家庭成员的个人特征决定,父母特质对子女家庭社会资本累积几乎没有影响,人口的流动从而出现代际间职业转换时,家庭社会资本累积会下降,人口的流动导致原有的社会资本累积过程断裂,计划经济体制向市场经济体制的转化,相对弱化了社会资本的累积过程,个人特征的重要性得以加强。

Like physical capital and human capital, social capital is an important factor in accounting for the differences in economic development. At the micro level, social capital can be measured by the relationship network and the behavior of family members. The accumulation of family social capital is mainly determined by personal characteristics of family members. Parental characteristics have no impact on the social capital accumulation in their children＇ s families. Social capital accumulation declines if there is a change of profession between parents and children due to migration. Migration results in the break of the social capital accumulation process. The transition from planned economy to market economy undermines the role of the process of social capital accumulation while highlighting the importance of personal characteristics in social capital accumulation.
