Abstract

In this paper, I present analytically some findings from the Survey "Aspects of daily life", conducted by ISTAT in 2012, which included a section dedicated specifically to families with children aged 0 to 13 years (3?745 families). Theoretically, the study refers to social capital, a key concept in relational sociology. Social capital is understood as the set of cooperative and trust-worthy relationships promoted by the families for their own wellbeing. Social capital may be present to different degrees depending on a number of variables that refer to both the structural level (resources and constraints) and the referential level (values and goals of wellbeing). In this work, through a number of multivariate analyses, I present the analytical framework for the characteristics of the Italian families in different areas of life, which are found to be more or less friendly toward the needs of the families with respect to social capital.
