Understanding Social Inclusion, Social Cohesion and Social Capital

Robert J. Oxoby ()

No 2009-11, Working Papers from Department of Economics, University of Calgary

Abstract: The topics of social capital, social cohesion, and social inclusion are increasingly gaining interest in economics, sociology, and politics, particularly in regards to addressing poverty and designing related policies. Here, we seek to develop the connections and interdependencies between these related concepts. We offer a framework for understanding the differences between these concepts and how they fit together in individual decision making.
