This article describes the impact on social services of an innovative model of family care in Moshi, Tanzania, aimed at orphaned children and youth who are affected by HIV/AIDS and their caregivers. We explore three questions: Is social capital created during the provision of social work services? If so, what aspects of the model are responsible for it? How does this social capital influence the participants’ educational/occupational aspirations and vision of the future? This qualitative study is based on a case analysis of eight adolescents and their caregivers. Data were collected from in-depth interviews. The unique aspects of a family-oriented, holistic, social service model focused on empowerment and future orientation-generated bridging, bonding, and linking social capital. Youth with more social capital appeared to have clearer visions of their future path. Implications for community-based social work practice serving marginalized and impoverished groups are presented.

The Impact

This study concerns the role of human capital, social capital, age, and gender in acquiring a job as an entry-level barista. Employment records were coded and analyzed in order to identify the key factors differentiating this applicant pool. The results from multivariate models produce fewer positive associations between human capital and social capital indicators than the literature suggests. Those with greater educational attainment are more likely to have high-status references on their applications. As seen in previous literature, the social capital of applicants is not very relevant in acquiring this entry-level job. Overall, educational attainment was most salient in increasing the odds of being interviewed and hired. The managers responsible for these decisions appear to favor formal higher education over work experience or references. The findings are discussed vis-à-vis women’s gains in higher education, the growth of the service sector, and the aging of the U.S. population.

The Impact

Resumen: Con ocasión de la crisis del COVID-19 se han publicado distintos análisis y reflexiones sobre el impacto que ésta puede tener sobre sobre la forma y la dinámica territorial a medio y largo plazo, así como sobre las posibilidades de desarrollo de los distintos territorios. Muchos de ellos subrayan la oportunidad que la crisis puede representar para reconsiderar drásticamente, desde cero, el paradigma actual de producción y consumo, así como el modelo territorial predominante. Aunque la duración temporal de la crisis sanitaria es un factor fundamental en la consolidación de estas nuevas tendencias, la situación actual y evolución probable de la pandemia a escala global nos lleva a afirmar que, hasta cierto punto “la vida después del COVID-19” será “la vida con COVID-19” (OCDE, 2020), de ahí la necesidad de reflexionar sobre las consecuencias a largo plazo, y de proponer un nuevo enfoque de desarrollo territorial que tenga en cuenta las diferentes necesidades y los cambios planteados por el nuevo contexto. En las páginas siguientes recogemos algunas de las ideas principales de estas aportaciones, centrando el análisis en algunos de los temas más estrechamente relacionados con el paradigma del desarrollo local: las economías locales, la sostenibilidad ambiental y social, el modelo territorial y la formación del capital social.   Palabras clave: COVID-19, desarrollo local,” Economía Fundamental”, cambio productivo, forma urbana, capital social.   Abstract: With the COVID-19 crisis, various analyses and reflections have been published on the impact it may have on the shape and dynamics of the territory in the medium and long term, as well as on the development possibilities of the different territories. Many of them underline the opportunity that the crisis may represent to drastically reconsider, from scratch, the current paradigm of production and consumption, as well as the predominant territorial model. Although the temporal duration of the health crisis is a fundamental factor in the consolidation of these new trends, the current situation and probable evolution of the pandemic on a global scale leads us to affirm that, to a certain extent, "life after COVID-19" will be "life with COVID-19" (OECD, 2020), hence the need to reflect on the long-term consequences, and to propose a new territorial development approach that takes into account the different needs and changes posed by the new context. In the following pages we gather some of the main ideas of these contributions, focusing the analysis on some of the issues most closely related to the local development paradigm: local economies, environmental and social sustainability, the territorial model and the formation of social capital.   Keywords: COVID-19, local development, “Basic Economy”, productive change, urban form, social capital.

The Impact

This study considers the impact of church involvement on social capital (SC) levels, and the impact of these levels on church volunteerism. SC theory suggests that relationships are established with a purpose in mind and that the aim of the individual is to use these relationships in a beneficial way. This theory drives the research hypotheses and findings of the study. It is hypothesized that church involvement has a positive correlation with higher levels of SC, and that SC has a positive correlation with volunteerism. SC, therefore, is seen as a mediating variable linking increased church involvement with increased volunteerism.Cette étude prend en considération l’impact de l’implication religieuse sur les niveaux de capital social et l’impact de ces niveaux sur le bénévolat religieux. La théorie du capital social suggère que les relations s’établissent avec un but en tête et que l’objectif des individus est d’utiliser ces relations de manière bénéfique. Cette théorie est le moteur des hypothèses de recherche et des résultats de l’étude. L’hypothèse de l’étude est que l’implication dans les institutions religieuses a une corrélation positive sur un niveau plus élevé de capital social et que le capital social a une corrélation positive sur le bénévolat. Le capital social est donc vu comme une variable médiatrice entre un accroissement de l’implication religieuse et l’augmentation du bénévolat.
