4 Types of Solidarity- Emile Durkheim (1858- 1917) The Division of Labour Mechanical solidarity (Primitive society) cohesion and integration comes from the homogeneity of individuals—people feel connected through similar work, educational and religious training, and lifestyle. Found in "traditional" and small scale societies.

5 Emile Durkheim (1858- 1917) Organic solidarity interdependence that arises from specialization of work and the complementarities between people—a development which occurs in "modern" and "industrial" societies.

18 How important is Trust, cohesion and Solidarity? For the first time ever, the majority of the world's population lives in a city, and this proportion continues to grow.

20 Globalisation and the Economics of immigration European Union 2000- less than 0.1% of the EU’S population moved to live in another EU country World Economy- interdependent internet etc

22 Large scale immigration to rich countries Should it be a human right to emigrate and immigrate in an open border world? Who benefits from mass immigration, is it immigrants or citizens from receiving countries?

24 Economic Impacts of Immigration to the UK The impact of immigration into the UK on GDP per head – the key metric measuring prosperity - is essentially negligible Although labour market effects are notoriously difficult to estimate, there is tentative evidence to show that some immigration has had negative effect on the employment of UK-born workers (4.2). There is also substantial anecdotal evidence that workers in some sectors of the economy have suffered more than others from competition with migrant labour: the IT industry is one such sector (4.2) Since 1997 three-quarters of employment created in the UK economy has been taken by immigrants (4.4) On the impact of immigration on average wage levels, the evidence is again inconclusive (5.1), but there is a strong consensus of opinion that immigration has harmed the earnings of the most poorly-paid UK-born members of the labour force (5.2) The methodology used to demonstrate alleged positive fiscal impacts is flawed and partial (section 6); in any case calculations of the size of the fiscal impact, whether negative or positive, are extremely small.
