The second is that, despite the above, the social dimension of sustainability is the least studied and the most difficult to measure due to the nature and complexity of its indicators. This article proposes a reflection on these measurement mechanisms, in order to determine which indicators of the social capital concept are useful for understanding and measuring social sustainability. To this end, a review of the literature is made, comparing indicator systems applied to both concepts. Given the complexity of these indicators, the scope of this study is outlined as a series of conclusions derived from the reflection on the complementarity, differences and relationships between the measurement systems analyzed, which is potentially useful in the elaboration of concrete indicators in subsequent studies. Al hacer una revisión del estado del arte sobre el ámbito de la sostenibilidad social, se evidencian dos situaciones particulares: la primera es que la dimensión social de la sostenibilidad ha ido ganando importancia en las teorías y las políticas de desarrollo a escala mundial. La segunda es que, a pesar de lo anterior, la dimensión social de la sostenibilidad es la menos estudiada y la más difícil de medir, debido a la naturaleza y la complejidad de sus indicadores. El presente artículo propone una reflexión sobre estos mecanismos de medición, a fin de determinar qué indicadores del concepto capital social resultan de utilidad para la comprensión y la medición de la sostenibilidad social. Para ello se hace una revisión de la literatura que compara sistemas de indicadores aplicados en ambos conceptos. Dada la complejidad de dichos indicadores, el alcance del presente estudio se perfila como una serie de conclusiones derivadas de la reflexión sobre la complementariedad, las diferencias y las relaciones entre los sistemas de medición analizados, lo que resulta de potencial utilidad en la elaboración de indicadores concretos en estudios posteriores.
