For this, the effect of social capital, which is one of the 12 components of the Legatum Prosperity index, on the welfare level of OECD countries was examined. the country rankings in which social capital is equally weighted with other index variables and the country rankings where social capital is excluded from the index are compared. The results obtained show that social capital is improving for the rankings of the welfare levels of Norway, Denmark, Iceland, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, USA, Slovenia, Portugal, Israel, Slovakia; has deteriorating effect for Switzerland, United Kingdom, Luxembourg, France, Belgium, Hungary, Czech Republic, Greece, Mexico, Latvia, Japan, Lithuania, South Korea and Turkey.
