Abstract

The study attempts to explore the role of social capital (informal networks; family, friends and neighborhood) in women career planning. Ownership of economic resources by women is considered important for their empowerment. Social capital plays a significant role in economic development. The study can be significant in identifying the motivations and hindrance factors in women empowerment through their career planning. Thirty in-depth interviews and 2 FGDs were conducted by Using purposive sampling. The findings of the study suggest that the family role is vital by encouraging and providing job-related information to women. Friends also provide positive social capital for females in planning their careers. However, networking with neighbors tends to be a strong predictor of women career adoption as families give importance to their opinions. The data is showing weak comminution, interaction and lack of trust among neighbors.
