This paper considers the actual problem of correlation of economics with other sciences, and namely with social sciences. The evolution of processes to solve the provisioning problem takes place in a social context. As a result, the economy is a subsystem and is interrelated with a variety of other social subsystems. These subsystems include economic, political, religious, social, geographic, demographic, legal, and moral systems. From the ancient times economics was treated as part of philosophy and religion.

In 'Big Ideas in Social Science', David Edmonds and Nigel Warburton put many of society's burning questions to 18 of the world's leading social scientists including Steven Pinker, Ann Oakley, Lawrence Sherman, Kate Pickett, Robert J. Shiller and Doreen Massey. The result is a collection of thought-provoking discussions that span the fields of sociology, politics, economics, criminology, geography and many more. From the people who brought us the 'Philosophy Bites' series, this volume is a fascinating and accessible introduction to the key ideas and findings of the social sciences

Many governments seek to reduce emigration from low-income countries by encouraging economic development there. A large literature, however, observes that average emigration rates are higher in countries with sustained increases in GDP per capita than in either chronically poor countries or established rich countries. This suggests an emigration life cycle in which average emigration first rises, then falls with development. But this hypothesis has not been tested with global datasets controlling for unobserved heterogeneity between countries. This paper finds that emigration rises on average as GDP per capita initially rises in poor countries, slowing after roughly US$5,000 at purchasing power parity, and reversing after roughly $10,000. Before this reversal, the within-country elasticity of rising emigration prevalence to rising GDP per capita is +0.35 to all destinations, and +0.74 to rich destinations. This relationship between emigration flows and economic growth is highly robust to country and time effects (fixed or random), specification (linear, log, nonparametric), emigration measure (stock or flow), country subsamples (rich destinations, large origins), and historical period (1960-2019 or 1850-1914). Decomposition of channels for this relationship highlight the joint importance of demographic transition, education investment, and structural change, but question a large role for transportation costs or policy barriers.

Interest has grown in the past few years about the place of social work in science. Questions remain, such as whether social work should be considered a science, and if so, where it fits into the constellation of sciences. This article attempts to shed light on these questions. After briefly considering past and present constructions of science and reflecting on views of science within the social work profession over time, we present an argument for how social work contributes to predominant questions facing science today through its unique ability to draw together and integrate knowledge from a variety of disciplines. Finally, we address how the profession can best prepare the coming generation of social workers to operate to their full potential in the current transdisciplinary world of science.

Specialized journals examine the teaching and learning of the social sciences in Higher Education . These include, for example, the highly regarded Teaching Sociology, or, more recently the Journal of Political Science Education, Journal of Legal Education and International Journal of Pluralism and Economics Education, to name but a few. These journals capture a significant amount of knowledge and experience. However, there is little coherence in terms of research and a lack of a well-developed academic sub-discipline around Higher Education in the social sciences. Furthermore, most of the discourses within the cited journals.

Die Abwanderung der in Bulgarien lebenden türkischen Minderheiten war stets präsent in der Geschichte der Beziehungen zwischen Bulgarien und der Türkei seit der Schaffung eines autonomen bulgarischen Staates im Jahre 1878. Der Aufsatz behandelt die Geschichte der Emigration von Türken aus Bulgarien im Zeitraum 1878 bis 1951 sowie Motive und Hintergründe der Emigrationswellen. Innerhalb dieser Zeitperiode unterscheidet der Autor folgende Emigrationsphasen: Flüchtlingsstrom nach der Unabhängigkeit Bulgariens 1878-81; Auswanderung bis zum Ausbruch des Balkan-Krieges 1912; Flucht und Emigrationsbewegung infolge des Ersten Weltkrieges und des zweiten Balkankrieges 1912/1913; Abwanderung in der Zwischenkriegszeit, die Ende der 20er und seit Mitte der 30er Jahre stark zunahm, erste massenhafte Emigration 1950/1951 nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg.
