The structural social capital is measured as network of people, network frequency and type of network, while cognitive social capital is measured by quality of social relationships through trust, receiving and giving social support, positive and negative experience with others. Subjective well-being is measured through self-evaluation of life satisfaction. Data is gathered through conducted survey on youth in social risk from 16 to 35 years in February 2022. These youth are participants in project “Youth empowerment enabling prospects”, which goal is to increase the employability and find employment for youth in social risk.
