Community social capital substitutes for missing family social capital.

Evidence

It is also true, though not presented here, that the lack of social capital in the family makes little difference in dropout rates in Catholic schools-or, in the terms I have used, social capital in the community compensates in part for its absence in the family. See Coleman and Hoffer (1987, chap. 5). — Coleman, SocialCapitalCreation-1988, 200
