粮食安全仍然是撒哈拉以南非洲许多地区的一个重大可持续性挑战。粮食安全有许多复杂和相互关联的决定因素，其中之一是社会资本。社会资本反映了个人、家庭或社区的社交网络、社会互动和社会支持系统，在需要时可以调动这些资本来维持生计或粮食安全等。本研究旨在进一步了解社会资本的类型与家庭粮食安全在马拉维南部，重点是获得食物。我们将社会资本分解为三种类型，即结合、桥接和连接社会资本，并确定哪一种与家庭获得食物的机会最密切相关，以及这是否因户主的性别而异。为了实现这一目标，我们分析了从马拉维第四次综合住户调查（IHS4）收集的382个家庭的二级数据，使用主轴因子分析和逻辑回归分析。我们的研究结果表明，结合和桥接社会资本与更好的家庭获得食物，而连接社会资本与较低的家庭获得食物。女户主家庭与社会资本联系最为紧密，男户主家庭与社会资本联系最为紧密，这突出表明这类家庭之间存在差异。这项工作证实了在撒哈拉以南非洲探索社会资本和粮食安全的界面的其他相关研究的观察结果。它还强调，在考虑粮食安全时，既要承认户主的性别，又要将社会资本纳入其类型学。
Food security remains a major sustainability challenge in many parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. Food security has numerous determinants that are complex and interlinked, with one of them being social capital. Social capital reflects an individual’s, household’s, or community’s social networks, social interactions, and social support systems that can be mobilized in times of need to maintain, among others, livelihoods or food security. This study aims to further understand how typologies of social capital are associated with household food security in Southern Malawi, with a focus on access to food. We unpack social capital into three typologies, namely bonding, bridging, and linking social capital, and establish which one is most strongly associated with household access to food, and whether this varies by the gender of the household head. To achieve this, we analyze secondary data from 382 households collected through the Malawian Fourth Integrated Household Survey (IHS4), using principal axis factor analysis and logistic regression analysis. Our findings demonstrate that bonding and bridging social capital are associated with better household access to food, while linking social capital was associated with lower household access to food. Bonding social capital was most strongly associated for female-headed households and linking social capital for male-headed households, highlighting that there are differences between such households. This work confirms observations from other related studies in Sub-Saharan Africa exploring the interface of social capital and food security. It also highlights the importance of both acknowledging the gender of the household head and of unpacking social capital into its typologies when considering food security.
