摘要
Taking the social transition and the development of labor market institution in China as the institutional background, this article intends to delve into the re employment of Chinese laid off workers, with a particular focus on the roles of social capital and human capital. Based on empirical data of 621 sample laid off workers in Wuhan, we come to a conclusion that both social capital and human capital play indispensable roles in these workers’ re\|employment, which is identical to previous studies on job searches and occupational status attainment. However, we also find that the effect of social capital is limited or even negative in certain circumstance. This result may be caused by the informal institutional characteristics of social capital and the social characteristics of laid off workers.
