- W2968173657 abstract "This thesis examines social enterprises providing education and training fordisengaged young people in the state of Victoria, Australia. Young people inAustralia are increasingly struggling in the transition from education to the full-timelabour market (Foundation for Young Australians (FYA) 2016) and young people whobecome disengaged from employment, education and training are vulnerable toentrenched disadvantage (OECD 1998). It has been suggested that social capital isan important factor in the prevention of disengagement for young people and assistswith successful transitions (Bynner 2001a; Bynner & Parsons 2002).The Victorian state government in 2017 endorsed the use of social enterprise toaddress some of the state’s most significant social issues (Victorian GovernmentFebruary 2017), including youth transitions. Given this enthusiasm for the model, thisthesis is concerned with undertaking a theoretical exploration of the potential,limitations and contributions of social enterprise. The critical social theory of PierreBourdieu offers a conceptualisation of social capital (1980, 1986), embedded within arich theoretical framework (Wacquant 2017) which is underused in social research(Foley and Edwards 1999, Wacquant 2018). This is in contrast to the normativeframework of social capital derived from Putnam (1993) that has been popularised inthe social sciences.To test the value of a Bourdieuian framework, a multi-site tri-level case study wasemployed using focus groups at the social enterprise level with a short-termlongitudinal case study by semi-structured interview with program participants. Thecase study was conducted over two program intakes with three social enterprises.Applying Bourdieu’s theories was valuable for exploring the theoretical potential ofsocial enterprise. Crucially, it was also useful in demonstrating some temperinglimitations and challenges in the use of social enterprise. This study found that socialenterprise education has a positive impact on the lives of the program participants.Social capital is found to be of secondary influence in the operations of the socialenterprises, with cultural capital being the most significant factor in the successfuloperation of a social enterprise. Finally, the sociopolitical climate has becomeincreasingly supportive of social enterprise as a means to deliver public services, asa neoliberal rationality continues to dominate both sides of the Australian politicallandscape." @default.
