abstract: 'The importance of social trust has become widely accepted in the social
|
||||
|
||||
sciences. A number of explanations have been put forward for the stark
|
||||
|
||||
variation in social trust among countries. Among these, participation in
|
||||
|
||||
voluntary associations received most attention. Yet there is scant
|
||||
|
||||
evidence that participation can lead to trust. In this article, the
|
||||
|
||||
authors examine a variable that has not gotten the attention it deserves
|
||||
|
||||
in the discussion about the sources of generalized trust, namely,
|
||||
|
||||
equality. They conceptualize equality along two dimensions: economic
|
||||
|
||||
equality and equality of opportunity. The omission of both these
|
||||
|
||||
dimensions of equality in the social capital literature is peculiar for
|
||||
|
||||
several reasons. First, it is obvious that the countries that score
|
||||
|
||||
highest on social trust also rank highest on economic equality, namely,
|
||||
|
||||
the Nordic countries, the Netherlands, and Canada. Second, these
|
||||
|
||||
countries have put a lot of effort in creating equality of opportunity,
|
||||
|
||||
not least in regard to their policies for public education, health care,
|
||||
|
||||
labor market opportunities, and (more recently) gender equality The
|
||||
|
||||
argument for increasing social trust by reducing inequality has largely
|
||||
|
||||
been ignored in the policy debates about social trust. Social capital
|
||||
|
||||
research has to a large extent been used by several governments and
|
||||
|
||||
policy organizations to send a message to people that the bad things in
|
||||
|
||||
their society are caused by too little volunteering. The policy
|
||||
|
||||
implications that follow from the authors'' research is that the low
|
||||
|
||||
levels of trust and social capital that plague many countries are caused
|
||||
|
||||
by too little government action to reduce inequality. However, many
|
||||
|
||||
countries with low levels of social trust and social capital may be
|
||||
|
||||
stuck in what is known as a social trap. The logic of such a situation
|
||||
|
||||
is the following. Social trust will not increase because massive social
|
||||
|
||||
inequality, prevails, but the public policies that could remedy this
|
||||
|
||||
situation cannot be established precisely because there is a genuine
|
||||
|
||||
lack of trust. This lack of trust concerns both ``other people{''''} and
|
||||
|
||||
the government institutions that are needed to implement universal
|
||||
|
||||
policies.'
