Popis:	Families are often considered an example of thick and cohesive social capital. Scholars intuitively compare strong ties inside the family to weak ties outside the family. In this perspective, social capital benefits are supposed to be equally shared among family members. Because the family is defined as a cohesive and homogeneous group, a series of issues were raised concerning its contribution to social integration in late modern societies. In particular, individualization theorists believe families to be dead as instances of social integration.1 Others have strong doubts about their ability to maintain their function of socialization of children and adolescents, as well as to resist economic hardship when facing divorce. The complexity of contemporary families questions this set of assumptions and suggests that social capital is an individualized resource in families of late modernity.
