| Abstract: | It is questioned to what extent (i). do education affect formal and informal social capital, what is the influence of educational (here as: edcal.) expansion, and welfare state contexts, and (ii). do edcal. effects on social capital differ under varying edcal. expansion and welfare state contexts. Through multilevel estimates on 28 nations from the Eurobarometer (2004) it is among others uncovered that edcal. attainment increases all indicators of both formal and informal social capital, except one: contact frequency with one's neighbours. This latter finding is attributed to the existence of a localist orientation among lower educated individuals. The higher educated profit from socialization at home, at school, and through their social networks as to social capital. |
