Abstract

This article analyzes the configuration of social capital in the labor strategies of young individuals from working class, based on two studies carried out in Córdoba, Argentina, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. First, we explain our understanding of "social capital" and its functioning in the world of working classes. Then, we characterize "working classes" in the social space of Cordoba in order to indicate different forms of social capital linked to labor strategies: endogenous, in networks between peers into the neighborhood, and exogenous, in networks established with agents from other social classes to outside the neighborhood, and negative social capital, associated with inclusion in certain circles of sociability.

Keywords:

social capital, work, working classes, youth, social inequality
