Abstract

In addition to presenting a description of the amount of social, economic, and cultural capitals among the youth of PavehCounty, this study aims to weigh how much of an effect economic and social capitals can bear on the cultural one. We have utilized the theory of Pierre Bourdieu here. This is a survey-method research and the study’s data has been collected through the interview which included 410 of the youth between 15-29 years of age who resided in urban section of the PavehCounty. Descriptive results show that the degree of youths’ social capital is high while the degree of cultural and economic capitals is medium. Moreover, the analytical results indicate that among the different variables of social capital, the variable of knowledge and paying attention to social, political and public affairs; and among the different variables of economic capital, the variable of enjoying welfare facilities had the most explanatory effect on the cultural capital.
