SOCIÁLNY KAPITÁL A TRIEDY V SLOVENSKEJ SPOLOČNOSTI

100%
EN
In this article we analyse data from the International Social Survey Programme, module Social Networks and Social Resources 2017 to identify the relationship between social capital and social classes in Slovakia. According to the work of Florian Pichler and Claire Wallace, we are focusing on different dimensions of social capital (they distinguished formal and informal capital, with their extensity and intensity). Using the method of ordinal regression analysis we found out, that social class is an important element in understanding social capital in Slovak society. Upper classes have higher levels of social capital (both formal and informal capital) than middle classes and lower classes, although informal capital was not as clearly stratified by class.

The subject of this article is the EGP, ESeC and ESeG class schemes and their validity for Slovak society. The basic question is to what extent these three schemes identify differences in occupational conditions in Slovak society. In the first part of the article, authors present EGP, ESeC and ESeG schemes, focuses on their theoretical grounds, and look at the criteria that define social classes within these frameworks. In the second part of the article the authors test whether these three class schemes really measure what they are supposed to: the criterion validity of EGP, ESeC and ESeG is tested. After that, the authors examine how much the three class schemes predict other social variables on the basis of theoretical expectations: the construct validity of EGP, ESeC and ESeG is tested. Based on criterion validity testing, it proved to be the highest ESeC class scheme, based on the construct validity test, the EseC and ESeG class schemes was the most excellent. Finally the authors compare three class schemes and discuss which of them a more appropriate explanatory instrument of occupational inequalities in current Slovak society is.

STATUSOVÉ USPORIADANIE SLOVENSKEJ SPOLOČNOSTI

The theoretical basis of this article is Max Weber´s distinction between class and status as related but different forms of social stratification. Tak Wing Chan and John Goldthorpe proved that this distinction is conceptually cogent and empirically important in the study of today´s modern societies. We follow their approach in our attempt to identify a status order in present-day Slovak society. We analysed the occupational structure of spouses (partners in marriages): empirical results show that there is one dimension of this structure that can be interpreted as reflecting a hierarchy of status. The status order we identify is different to income, education and socioeconomic status. An analysis of the relationship between the status hierarchy and the class structure has shown that while some classes show a rather high degree of status homogeneity, in other classes status stratification is quite extensive. Similarly to the findings of Chan and Goldthorpe, our results also show that the Weber´s distinction between status and class remains valid and empirically beneficial.

In this article we use survey data to test three arguments on the relationship between social stratification and the way of life (including cultural consumption): „homology“, „individualisation“ and „omnivore – univore“ arguments. The conclusion of our analysis is the relationship of social stratification and the way of life (including cultural consumption) in Slovak society is currently best characterized by the class homology argument. Thus, it can be said that members of basic social classes as well as people with different socio-economic status live by separate, different ways of life, which also include different ways of their cultural consumption. It can reasonably be assumed that the different ways of life of members of social classes and status groups not only share their specific characteristics but also contribute to the definition of their social position (including the definition of symbolic boundaries between them) and their interrelations in the system of class and status order of the Slovak society.
