Abstract: | In contemporary development policy and planning social capital is seen as important as economic capital for the advancement of the deprived populations, especially poor women as it is identified as a resource that is available to anyone. However, social capital is not a unitary concept and can manifest itself in diverse qualities and forms. The present paper is based on a study of female-headed households in three districts of Sri Lanka, namely Colombo, Kandy and Matara. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected; quantitative data were obtained through a sample survey of 534 female heads of households and qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews |
