Also, in order to predict and plan for future improvement of social capital, social capital model has been measured. Among the factors affecting social capital, age and employment in agriculture, suburbanization, income inequality and migration have a significant and negative impact on social capital whereas, education, women labor force participation, employment in industry and services, ownership Home and family formation have a positive and significant impact on social capital.According to the results, it is suggested that the government, while anticipating the social capital of the provinces, find a solution to improve it in the provinces with a low level of social capital, considering the factors affecting the social capital proposed in the present study.

The human capital is defined as knowledge, skills, and other abilities that will lead to improvement in the quality and level of production. The capital achieved at younger ages would have stronger effects on progress at later ages. Family has shown to have a crucial influence on the achievement of human capital and investment in this field. Iranian families are now experiencing a low level of fertility, improvements in the education of parents, and a relatively high level of family dissolution. Using data drawn from the Time Use Survey (conducted in the years 2008-2009), this paper aims to examine the effects of the number of children on the achievement of human capital by young children in urban areas of Iran. Target population includes 2183 never-married children aged 15-19 years. Findings show a negative relationship between the number of children and the achievement of human capital. A sharper difference exists between families with one or two children and families with three and more children. Multivariate analyses show the significant effects of the sex and age of children, and the mother's level of education. The presence of such control variables, however, does not change the effect of the number of children. The results can suggest the sustainability of low family size (two-child family) in future.
