Measuring social capital:
Towards a theoretically informed measurement framework for researching social capital in family and community life
by Wendy Stone
Research paper no.24, Australian Institute of Family Studies, 2001, 38p, ISBN 0 642 39486 5

To inform the Institute's Families, Social Capital and Citizenship project, this paper contributes to the development of clear links between theorised and empirical understandings of social capital by: establishing a theoretically informed measurement framework for empirical investigation of social capital; and reviewing existing measures of social capital in light of this framework. The paper concludes with a statement of guiding principles for the measurement and empirical investigation of social capital in family and community life.
