Social capital arising from social networks based on trust has been
traditionally seen as the property of adults from which the younger
generation gain benefit. Far less attention has been given to the
production of social capital among young people themselves, in
making the transition from dependent child to independent adult.
Through findings from research groups in Finland and England, this
book fills the gap by examining how young people develop and use
social capital in different contexts at school and outside, in
cementing friendships, in developing identity, in smoothing the
passage through education and from school to work, and in resisting
coercion into pre-designated adult roles. As part of the developing
field of youth studies, the book will be of much interest to
academics and policy makers and practitioners working with young
people.
