Kapitał społeczno‑kulturowy studentów a szanse funkcjonowania na rynku pracy
The Socio‑cultural Capital of Students and Their Opportunities in the Labor Market

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the article is to investigate the connection between the socio‑cultural capital of students and their prospects in the labor market. The author begins with a short reference to the issue of youth employment. It has been emphasized that the latest 2008 economic breakdown has had a huge impact on European and domestic work markets. Young employees have had to cope with many difficulties, including unemployment and precarious work conditions. The is issue can be addressed from different points of view. However, many researchers focus on incompatibility between the qualifications of young workers and the requirements of employers. The authors’ proposition is to consider the problem from a different perspective — through analyzing students’ social and cultural resources. The main assumption is that the socio‑cultural capital can be seen as a kind of facilitator that enables better occupational prospects.
