	A social network is a set of actors and the ties between them (Wasserman & Faust, 1994). The study of the patterns of these ties is called ~~social network analysis~~, a field of study that has grown in recent decades across a wide range of disciplines (McCarthy et al, 2019). Through this approach, a countless number of economic and social processes can be represented and analyzed. Networks between people, [[Social groups\|groups]], institutions, communities or nations, interacting to exchange information, social support, transfer money or manage conflicts, to name just a few examples (Wellman & Berkowitz, 2006). In the context of [[Life course\|life courses]], the concept of social network has often been used through the notion of 'social convoy': this is the set of personal relationships that accompany individuals through life course segments, such as [[Family ties\|family members]] or close friends (Antonucci et al., 2019; Bidart et al., 2020; Widmer, 2006). This puts the concept of social network to the forefront for one of the principles of the [[Life course\|life course]], such as that of 'linked lives'.
