There is a kind of inequality we do not talk about enough, because it is not always obvious, and it does not always look like money.

It looks like a parent who can send a quick message. It looks like: “Oh, my friend’s sister works there”, or “let me introduce you to someone”. It looks like a door opening, quietly, without anyone having to beg. And once you notice it, you cannot unsee it.

Some young people grow up surrounded by working adults who can explain the rules. They hear the language of work at the dinner table. They learn what different jobs look like, what they pay, and what the next step is. They learn how to write an email that gets a reply, how to walk into a room and feel like they belong, and how to ask for an opportunity without feeling like a nuisance.

That is social capital. It is not a buzzword. It is the difference between feeling like the world of work is something you can enter, or something you can only read about.
