Question 596 • Career Explorations A

Which example best illustrates how social capital can influence social mobility?

Answer
A
Lanson is offered a position at the law firm where his father works.
B
Chen moves from a rural village to a large city to find a better job.
C
Yasmin takes advanced classes and earns a scholarship to a prestigious university.
D
Naoki qualifies for government assistance with childcare so she can go to work.

Explanation

Social capital refers to the benefits people gain through social relationships and networks. Lanson’s father’s workplace connection helps him get a position, showing how a family network can open a career opportunity and support social mobility. Moving for work, earning a scholarship through academic achievement, and receiving government assistance involve other factors rather than social connections.
