Enhancing the Society’s Social Capital Accumulation

There are various social ills plaguing the society today ( i.e. juvenile delinquency , crimes , murder , gangsterism , abandonment of the elderly , domestic violence , etc. ) . This can be attributed to various factors ranging from peer pressure , mental problems , poverty and marginalization and eroding moral values . In a society that has experienced a rapid economic growth and a steady increase in the income per capita , it is thus an alarming factor if there is an increase in social problems and an increase in government expenditure to curb this problem . Social capital through effective networking is seen as an avenue to enhance positive social values and contribute towards a harmonious society . This research investigates the social problems in society , the total expenditure incurred by the government to eradicate these problems , the wealth of the society and to finally identify the new types of social capital in society .
