社会资本包括一系列关系、网络和机构，使人们能够建立信任和合作。本章记录了与农业发展相关的社会资本的性别差异，定义为群体成员和社交网络，基于对关键问题的批判性文献回顾以及对1999年至2011年期间进行的已发表和未发表的实证研究的回顾。作者重点关注妇女和男子加入的群体和社交网络的类型、参与程度以及可能影响妇女全面参与的性别障碍。这项分析超越了简单地将男子和妇女团体和网络一分为二的做法，以调查男女混合团体是否以及在何种情况下可能比单一性别团体更有效地实现其发展目标。在此之后，作者研究了妇女参与对群体绩效和现存性别关系的影响，并讨论了发展行为体可以做些什么来帮助实现这些领域的收益。本章最后总结了妇女在社会资本积累方面与男子相比是否处于不利地位的证据，如果是的话，说明方案在多大程度上有助于克服这一差距。
Social capital comprises the range of relationships, networks, and institutions that allow people to build trust and cooperation. This chapter documents gender differences in social capital related to agricultural development, defined as group membership and social networks, based on a critical literature review of key issues and a review of published and unpublished empirical studies conducted between 1999 and 2011. The authors focus on the types of groups and social networks that women and men join, the extent of their participation, as well as the gender-specific barriers that may affect women’s full-scale participation. The analysis goes beyond simple dichotomies of men’s and women’s groups and networks to investigate whether, and under what circumstances, mixed-sex groups may be more effective than single-sex groups in achieving their development objectives. Following this, the authors examine the effects of women’s participation on both group performance and extant gender relations and discuss what development actors can do to help realize gains in these areas. The chapter concludes with a summary of the evidence on whether women are disadvantaged in comparison to men in the accumulation of social capital, and if so, the extent to which programs are helping to overcome this gap.
