借鉴国际社会资本文献，本文提出了一个关键的综合社会资源与儿童和青年的福祉。虽然有相当多的证据表明，社会资本可以对儿童和青年的未来成果产生积极的影响，没有事先全面审查的文献存在社会资本和儿童的福祉。采用系统评价方法（SR），作者探讨了社会资本如何被概念化和操作化作为一个解释变量的研究与儿童和青少年的个人和集体福祉。经常被引用的家庭社会资本和社区社会资本的指标，以及共同的控制变量，如人力和金融资本。最后，作者研究了几个社会资本的趋势与儿童的福祉，并提供建议，为未来的研究使用社会资本的理论框架，以探索更多的成果与儿童和青年的福祉。
Drawing on social capital literature from the international realm, this article presents a critical synthesis of this social resource in relation to children's and youth's wellbeing. Although considerable evidence indicates that social capital can have a positive impact on future outcomes for children and youth, no prior comprehensive review exists of the literature on social capital and children's wellbeing. Adopting the systematic review method (SR), the author explores how social capital has been conceptualised and operationalised as an explanatory variable in research on individual and collective wellbeing with children and youth. Oft-cited indicators of family social capital and community social capital are identified, together with common control variables, such as human and financial capital. The author concludes by examining several social capital trends in relation to children's wellbeing and offering recommendations for future research using a social capital theoretical framework to explore additional outcomes related to children's and youth's wellbeing.
