Inequality in Social Capital

NAN LIN Duke University lation and adaptation to exploitation work differently when all parties are intimately connected to one another (as within households) or when most do not even know the others (as within transnational firms). Conduct mobility studies by tracing site-to-site channels and their social operation. For example, examine how specific sets of households place their children in particular schools, then how those schools channel their graduates to various economic niches. Within organizations, compare mobility systems and their barriers with daily social relations. For example, determine to what extent sociability clusters within job ladders, and how the presence of mobility barriers among interacting coworkers (e.g., mobility barriers between nurses and doctors) itself affects the quality of social relations among them. For hierarchies posited a priori, substitute matrices of relations among positions derived from empirical observation. For example, study mobility, social interaction, and flows of resources among jobs to identify closely connected or structurally equivalent jobs. Let asymmetries in these regards
