The first purpose is to present our 4-page question¬naire, which measures social capital. It is close to the main definitions of social capital and contains the most successful measures from the literature. Also it is easy to apply as discussed.
The second purpose is to present the social capital database we have collected for 21 countries using the question¬naire. We do this by comparing the level of social capital in the countries covered. That is, the report compares the marginals from the 21 surveys.
