Summary: Navigating through life's challenges and taking advantage of opportunities that arise require an individual to draw on a range of resources. These resources may include components of financial, human, physical and social capital. While much evidence has pointed to the importance of financial and human capital in helping to improve outcomes of individuals, the last few years have witnessed an increased awareness and realization in the significance of social capital to economic and social well being.
