Abstract This research paper establishes the relation between the social capital and social insertion of the displaced population. 73 displaced people, distributed as follows: 61 women and 12 men living in Barranquilla and surrounding municipalities. The information was processed in the SPSS Version 18. In order to establish the correlation between social capital and insertion, the Pearson correlation coefficient was applied. The social capital showed that the displaced people or refugees (61,6 %) and other distrusting people (64,3 %) have confidence in their relatives and people nearby in the way that they have supportive ties with the community to cooperate in the achievement of common targets actively (52,1 %). As a result, the social networks showed that the displaced people come to their relatives, friends and neighbors mainly to obtain help (82 %). The Pearson correlation coefficient showed a significant interrelation between social capital and social insertion (r=0,299; p <0,05). In other words, a greatest social capital is the possibility of social insertion of the displaced population.

La muestra la conforman 73 desplazados distribuidos asi: 61 mujeres y 12 hombres radicados en la ciudad de Barranquilla y municipios aledanos. Los datos se procesaron en el SPSS Version 18. Para establecer la correlacion, se aplico el coeficiente de correlacion de Pearson. El capital social revelo que las personas desplazadas desconfian de las demas personas (61,6 %), tienen confianza en los familiares y personas cercanas (64,3 %) y mantienen vinculos con la comunidad para cooperar activamente en el logro de objetivos comunes (52,1 %). Las redes sociales arrojaron que los desplazados acuden principalmente a sus familiares, amigos y vecinos para obtener ayuda (82 %). El coeficiente de correlacion de Pearson reflejo una correlacion significativa entre el capital social y la insercion social (r=0,299; p <0,05), es decir, a mayor capital social, mayor es la posibilidad de insercion social de la poblacion desplazada.
