Developments of the social capital in the region
Now
at the level of each certain country there are requirements of ensuring growth
of welfare of the population, and in the world markets competitive fight for
more and more limited resources becomes aggravated, interest of economists to
researches of problems of economic growth objectively amplifies.
On
mobilization of various factors of economic growth, i.e. the conditions,
capable to provide economic growth, to improve its quantitative and qualitative
characteristics, efforts of economic subjects of different level, including
leading macroeconomic subjects - business and the state are directed.
In
recent years among a set of the factors influencing economic growth, economists
started allocating also such specific circumstances as a condition of the social
relations, character and quality of communications between various economic
subjects, features of business reputations of the economic subjects, the level
of trust earned by them from clients and partners, than and relevance of a
subject of research speaks.
Research
objective is deepening of researches of the nature of the social capital and
the directions of its positive influence on development of economy, improvement
of the social capital in modern Kazakhstan, identification of opportunities of
the formalized expression of influence on economic growth.
Proceeding
from the specified purpose, the following tasks are set:
- concept "social capital"
formulation, research of its specifics and definition of its place in total
different types and the forms of the capital used in modern economic activity;
- definition of characteristics of sources of
the social capital and consideration of its structure;
- identification of the main directions of
influence of the social capital on economic growth;
- analysis of a current state of the
Kazakhstan social capital;
-
definition of the main directions of improvement of the social capital in
Kazakhstan at various levels.
Emergence
of the category "social capital" in many respects coincided with the
beginning of new "Golden Age" of the neoclassical theory and prompt
development of the theory of the human capital.
The
social capital is for the present not absolutely settled scientific concept
which is widely used in modern science. "The social capital is a set of the
existing or potential resources connected with existence of a steady network of
more or less institutionalized relations of mutual acquaintance and
recognition, or, in other words, memberships in group" [1].
Based
on definition of the social capital, we will try to define its structure,
functions, emergence stages.
The
base of the social capital are the human relations. In other words, the social
capital arises at interaction of several people which can be carried out within
a family, in the labor sphere, in education, etc.
The
social capital can collect as in the relations developing between friends,
neighbors, and between strangers. Important property of the social capital is
that if human relations or economic agents stop, the saved-up social capital
can be irrevocably lost.
For
the last 10 - 15 years in the economic analysis of the social capital will make
significant progress and evidences of the importance and value of this resource
for economy and society are received. But still there is no sufficient clarity
concerning "transmission gears" on which the social capital
influences economic results. On the one hand, the social capital keeps order in
economy and society on the basis of trust, mutual respect and the account
individuals of public interests; in this sense he acts as institutional
alternative to the state and makes a direct contribution to economic
development in the "horizontal" direction, without state
participation.
In
recent years the phrase "social capital" became extremely popular, and
not only in the scientific environment. However today there is no the uniform
concept more exhaustively defining characteristics and criteria of an
assessment of the social capital.
The problem of accumulation social is considered one of the main not
only in theoretical researches of economists, but also in economic policy of
the state. In this regard, it is
important to reveal factors which will promote not only to accumulation of the
capital in the country, but also its growth.
Now
researches of factors of growth it is conducted in the widest range. Growth
influence not only economic, but sociocultural factors. Moreover, in the
conditions of post-industrial society the role of these factors continuously
increases [2].
