An old boy network (also known as old boys' network, ol' boys' club, old boys' club, old boys' society, good ol' boys club, or good ol' boys system) is an informal system in which wealthy men with similar social or educational background help each other in business or personal matters. The term originally referred to social and business connections among former pupils of male-only elite schools, though the term is now also used to refer to any closed system of relationships that restrict opportunities to within the group. The term originated from much of the British upper-class having attended certain fee-charging public schools as boys, thus former pupils are "old boys".

  • Een old boys network is een netwerk van oudgedienden of gevestigden van een organisatie of onderneming (leger, studentenvereniging, politiek, bedrijf) die hun huidige machtspositie niet willen opgeven of na hun uittreden nog contact houden met de organisatie, en jonge (ex-)leden en elkaar helpen. De term heeft een enigszins negatieve connotatie omdat het geassocieerd wordt met nepotisme. (nl)
  • Old boy network („Síť bývalých žáků“) je spojení, které pochází z anglického prostředí, kde se používá ve významu neformální sociální sítě mezi absolventy převážně prestižních škol. Jedná se o systém společenských a pracovních kontaktů mezi bývalými studenty chlapeckých škol či mezi pracovníky na vysokých postech v podobném oboru. V Británii byli studenti soukromých (středních) škol tradičně nazýváni „boys“ (chlapci), a absolventi těchto škol jsou tedy „old boys“ (bývalí chlapci/žáci). V současnosti se pojem užívá přeneseně jako uzavřený druh společnosti, která je založena na neformálních vztazích a do které je některým skupinám (ženy, etnické minority) prakticky znemožněn vstup. Členství v těchto skupinách pak znamená např. výhodu na trhu práce. (cs)
