Q2. What have the authors stated for future works in "Social networks, accessed and mobilised social capital and the employment status of older workers: a case study" ?
While it is difficult to alter these, agencies should consider tackling the aspect of social exclusion through encouraging work experience for older people, allowing them to extend and deepen their social networks with those who are employed. Further a methodological contribution is made to social network researcher by showing how a combined approach of quantitative and qualitative methods can be used to address research goals and how weighted sociograms of ego-centric networks can be used to visualise and compare social capital of both egos and their contacts in different networks. Besides policy recommendations, and the need to generalise the finings into other labour markets there is considerable scope for future research into how networks develop over time, especially before and after older workers change status from employed to unemployed, and how those with weak networks can be better supported to re-enter employment
