Abstract

Social networks have often been cited as key element in shaping social situations. This article discusses the social networks of poor individuals in 12 locations in the cities of São Paulo e Salvador, by comparing the patterns found. After that, it analyzes quantitatively the association between those networks, as well as the attributes of individuals, and where the social vulnerability takes place. The results indicate the importance of the types of networks and of sociability to explain situations of urban poverty.
