Strengthening collective action: Role of social capital in motivating third-sector workers
This study highlights the importance of social capital within third sector organizations, as in other sectors of the economy, and confirms the influence of social capital on human capital. In this case, it contributes to the analysis of the structure and quality of relationships among members of a social organization, which enables motivation and commitment to collective action. Based on exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, from a 45-ite…
The impact of ill-health on social mobility: A qualitative study
Socio-economic position is a well-established driver of health status in the United Kingdom. However, less is known about the reverse relationship — the effect health conditions have on socio-economic position and social mobility. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore individual experiences and perceptions of the relationship between ill-health and social mobility amongst people with long-term physical health conditions. Structured…

To reach this recognition, the local governments of these cities implement economic, social and environmental policies that lay the legal foundations for an integrally sust…
Fathers' Leave and Fathers' Involvement: Evidence from Four OECD Countries
In recent years, several OECD countries have taken steps to promote policies encouraging fathers to spend more time caring for young children, thereby promoting a more gender equal division of care work. Evidence, mainly for the United States and United Kingdom, has shown fathers taking some time off work around childbirth are more likely to be involved in childcare related activities than fathers who do not take time off. This paper conducts a f…

A share of new growth for children? Policies for the very young in non-EU Europe and the CIS
Economic collapse in the former communist bloc saw the erosion of financial support and services for young children. Since 1998 even the poorer countries of the bloc have seen a return to economic growth. But have the benefits been felt by children? Drawing on administrative and household survey data, this article examines three aspects of government support for young children — maternity benefit, child allowances and preschool provision — in fou…
Adversity in Childhood and Mental Health in Adulthood: The Role of Social Capital
The study examines whether social capital fosters resilience among individuals who are at a high risk of developing mental distress in adulthood. Results suggest that social capital is not associated with a reduction in the probability that high-risk individuals will experience mental distress, while one form of social capital, membership in groups and associations, appears to play a protective role among low-risk individuals. Overall, our resear…
Introduction: Resilience and Social Exclusion
Resilience and social exclusion are both slippery concepts. Attempting to explore the relationship between them – the challenge set for contributors to this themed section – might therefore be considered a rash undertaking. Nevertheless, there is much to be learned – theoretically, empirically and in terms of policy implications – from bringing together these two areas of investigation which have developed hitherto largely in isolation from each …
Child Health in Rural Mexico: Has Progresa Reduced Children's Morbidity Risks
It is well known that ill health during early childhood can have deleterious consequences for future developmental outcomes. Furthermore, children growing up in poverty are at risk of experiencing frequent and severe episodes of illness because they are highly exposed to the risk factors associated with catching infectious diseases. Progresa, Mexico's main anti‐poverty programme, aims to support and promote parents living in rural areas to invest…
