Starting from single scenarios for fertility, mortality and economic activity, three sets of assumptions are explored regarding migration flows, taking into account probable policy developments in Europe following the enlargement of the EU. In addition to age structures, various support ratio indicators are analysed. The results indicate that plausible immigration cannot offset the negative effects of population and labour force ageing.

A question never asked was what would happen, and what remedial action would be taken, should the conditions conducive to growth and the knowledge economy conflict with the political and institutional underpinnings of social cohesion. What if strong employment growth turned out to be founded on the destabilization of the standard employment contract, or if the advance towards a knowledge economy brought about a sharp rise in social inequality and polarization between skilled and unskilled workers and between those with and without stable jobs? Would trade unions be willing and able to counteract or attenuate such trends and bridge the differences between the new haves and have-nots? Or would they be marginalized, slowly but irreversibly, together with the stable employment relationships...

...States is in trouble. A US Department of Education report1 from March concludes that “without substantial and sustained changes to the educational system, the United States will relinquish its leadership in the twentyfirst century”. The panic plays out in countless newspaper articles and policy reports, recently leading to legislative responses such as the America COMPETES Act, which contains a list of measures to boost average mathematics and science test scores. A country’s place in the new global economy is, according to these reports, determined by its rank in the maths- and science-score hierarchy. Following this reasoning, one would conclude that the US economy is threatened not only by Japan and South Korea, but also by Finland, Singapore, New Zealand and the Czech Republic. The rankings that engender these fears are primarily based on two tests administered to middle- and high-school students since 1995: the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). Improving education should be a priority for the nation, but erroneous interpretations of international test scores may drive economic and competitiveness policy in the wrong direction. When we consider that education testing shows formidable US strength as the largest producer of top-scoring students alongside a significant problem at the bottom, the threat to future competitiveness seems to be something quite different...

...Hammurabi’s code was the main cause of law and government. This was the first real form of government. Both are a way to control citizens of a nation. The laws and government are a source of a criminal and court system. The criminal and court system created by Hammurabi’s government was a major cause of the reparations in Germany for war crimes. If there was no criminal or court system, there wouldn’t be a need for the reparations or even the war crimes themselves. Cave art was the earliest known form of written interaction. The cave drawings led to honing drawing and painting skills which led up to modernization of art. The modernization of art led up to romanticism. Romanticism led up to and was a major role in the renaissance. Drawing and...

To do this, we have to clarify some concepts, like National Identity, Nationalism, culture and Swedishness, in order to understand the connection between those, and finally expose more easely the following arguments. Those concepts can be seen as pretty dimness and deep, so we have to treat those with caution. In fact, if we start with Nationalism, many theorists tried to counteract the three paradoxes this concept bring : objective modernity vs. subjective antiquity, socio-cultural concept vs. concrete manifestations and 'political' power vs. philosophical poverty. Therefore, we see that Nationalism involve multiple frameworks, like history, culture, social...

...become victims. In order to find a shelter and a better life, many of them are risking their life to cross into European countries such as Germany. According to Eurostat (2015), European Union(EU) member state have already received more than 1.2 million asylum applications in 2015, which is a number more than double of the previous year. This essay argues that European countries should keep sheltering the refugees from the areas affected by Islamic State. With a great number of migrants, European countries are suffering stress from both economic and social aspects. However, those negative impacts are short dated and can be eased by proper solutions. 2. Economic aspect (2) First of all, it is highly concerned that refugee crisis would cause great fiscal pressures to the host countries. People worried a lot about whether the countries’ financial resources will be drained by these large amount of migrants or not. Nevertheless, there are plenty of related data and past cases showing that it is more likely to be the boost of Europe economy in long term. 2.1 Labor market (3) Refugees are always labeled to be barely educated and not capable of integrating into local working condition. Actually, 21 percent of Syrians who arrived in Germany in 2013-2014 have post-secondary education level while Germany’s average is about 23 percent (Kollewe,2016). This subtle difference would not put refugees out of the local labor market. They can be qualified to get a job and make contribution...

...ISBN 978-92-64-04632-0 OECD Employment Outlook © OECD 2008 Chapter 3 The Price of Prejudice: Labour Market Discrimination on the Grounds of Gender and Ethnicity Despite some progress, there is still evidence of discrimination on the grounds of gender and ethnic or racial origins in OECD labour markets. Field experiments show pervasive ethnic discrimination in many countries. Indirect evidence shows that on average at least 8% of the gender employment gap and a larger proportion of the gender wage gap can be attributed to discrimination. Virtually all OECD countries have enacted anti-discrimination laws in recent decades, and evaluations as well as cross-country analysis suggest that, if well-designed, these laws can be effective in reducing disparities in labour market outcomes. However, enforcement of antidiscrimination legislation is essentially based on victims’ willingness to claim their rights. Thus, public awareness of legal rules and their expected consequences (notably, victims’ costs and benefits of lodging complaints) is a crucial element of an effective policy strategy to establish a culture of equal treatment. Moreover, legal rules are likely to have more impact if the enforcement is not exclusively dependent on individuals. In this respect, specific agencies may play a key role. 139 3.

...4/10/14 Book Report: Before the Dawn Before the Dawn was published in 2006 and was written by Nicholas Wade. It has been praised by many for its meaty content as well as readability, and can be enjoyed by people who are not so scientifically literate. The book covers a comprehensive range of topics relating to the history of human evolution and migration. He begins the book with a couple of short stories, one about finding the date of the evolution of body hair loss, and another about discovering whether President Jefferson had a slave mistress, and he delves into his theories on why the genome provides a recorded history of an organism, primarily humans. The next chapters talk about our African origins, the sparks of language, leaving Africa 50,000 years ago, and our differentiation by spreading across the world. Further in the book he speaks on our transition from nomadic lifestyles, social behavior, our ethnicities/race, deeper into language, further into history, and finally evolution. He continually comes back to the idea of acting “behaviorally modern” to shape our societies which, in turn shaped us individually. Before the Dawn gives a solid perspective on the history and sources of humans’ unrecorded historical changes. Wade addresses human aggression and relates it to the aggressive nature of chimps against bonobos. Chimps, being male-dominated, are highly aggressive and regularly go on killing raids against other groups. Bonobos, being female-dominated, are not...

It can be traced back from a very early age if we flip through the sociological status of yesteryear. However with the passage of time and further defining a goal to reform child abuse and domestic violence, the objective of elderly abuse has also been considered in the agenda. Unlike other form violence, the elderly violence has come into limelight with the progress of public health and criminal justice. The issue of these two forms has paved a way to view, analyse and curb the issue on violence towards senior citizens of a society. This paper...

...1.2 INTRODUCTION TO BIOMATERIALS There is a necessity for replacing bone substance which has been lost due to traumatic or nontraumatic events. The lost bone can be replaced by endogenous or exogenous bone tissues, which is connected with several problems. The use of endogenous bone substance involves additional surgery; moreover the endogenous bone is available only in limited quantities. In case of exogeneous bone implants, the major disadvantage is that they may be rejected by human body, disease may be transmitted together with the implant, and also the clinical performance of exogenous bone is considerably inferior to fresh endogenous graft material. For these reasons there is growing need for fabrication of artificial hard tissue replacement implants. Research into novel materials for biomedical applications is ever increasing as the medical community look to improve the way in which disorders and trauma are treated. Issues with current materials and the additional trauma associated with the use of bone grafts has pushed research towards new materials to aid the required repair and/or the regeneration of bone after fracture or the removal of bony defects or cancerous bone. Many new materials have been developed in an attempt to address these concerns but there are still some issues surrounding the appropriateness of their mechanical properties, the ability of degradable materials to retain their properties once implanted and the ability to form the material in situ...
