Abstract | Social capital connotes concepts such as assets, wealth, resources, and investments. Applying economic-value terminology to relationships highlights the considerable potential benefits and liabilities (social and economical) that have resulted from women's penchant for investment in social networks, whether they are in society, the workplace, the community, or formal learning environments. The importance of social capital lies in its broad application to the development of networks for advancement of individual interests and goals within a sociocultural context; to the community networks and normative behaviors that are constructed or mutually adopted to serve and benefit children, adults, the rich, the poor, the marginalized, or socioeconomically disadvantaged; and to society at large. This chapter presents a summary of women's social capital networks as highlighted in the previous chapters and discusses salient emergent issues for consideration, as well as the concomitant implications for women as adult learners and for adult education.
