Abstract

 Existing studies of social capital traditionally view children as objects and passive actors of the capital formation process. Acknowledging the child as an independent entity (subject) is a relatively new approach based on viewing them as subjects of rights. Here the child is an active participant of the social interaction process, who initiates in and develops their own social network. This article attempts to conducta comparative analysis of the two approaches mentioned above.
