Friends with benefits: how can we connect communities to create opportunities? | Policy Live

Social capital significantly shapes life outcomes, yet it is often undervalued by policymakers. Working with Meta, researchers from BIT leveraged anonymised data from 20 million UK Facebook users. Our findings revealed a stark truth: children from low-income families in high-social-capital areas earn 38% more as adults. This session presented our findings and policy recommendations. Our expert panel explored how interventions can effectively strengthen social capital, outlining practical strategies for policymakers. -- We are Nesta. The UK's innovation agency for social good.
