Social Capital: An Assessment for Turkey
Journal Title: Mehmet Akif Ersoy Üniversitesi Uygulamalı Bilimler Dergisi - Year 2019, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Considering the fact that social capital is an important area for practitioners and policymakers who want to develop a more productive and inclusive economic structure, the reason for the interest in social capital, the development of the concept and its characteristics are discussed in this study. The level of social capital and the effects of social capital theory on economic growth and wealth were examined. Under the general features of social capital theory, it has been made the assessments for Turkey. Selected countries and Turkey, were compared using various economic indicators and confidence levels. Family is a very powerful element in Turkey and confidence decreases as the social strata expand. Although membership in social groups such as religion and fellow citizenship is also very important, the low level of mutual empathy and trust in relations with other groups leads to a low level of social capital. The lack of social organization between the family and the state makes state intervention important in ensuring social capital and economic development.
