CHARLES-LEIJA, Humberto; GARCIA, Aldo Josafat Torres y LUGO, David Castro. The effects of social capital on employment in Mexico. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2018, vol.20, n.38, pp.263-283. ISSN 0124-5996. https://doi.org/10.18601/01245996.v20n38.11.
This article explores the influence of physical and electronic social networks on the labor market, using data from the Self-Reported Welfare Survey for Mexico in 2014. Social capital has a positive influence on the employment situation of individuals. Having more than three friends decreases the probability ofbeing unemployed between 1,1 and 1,8%; while the family network and electronic social networks are not significant. The results suggest that family capital is a kind of "unemployment insurance" and that friends provide information about vacancies and salaries.
