Brexit

Heena Malhotra

The document discusses what Brexit is, the current Brexit scenario, effects of Brexit on Britain and the global economy, and challenges in implementing Brexit. Specifically, it notes that Brexit refers to the UK withdrawing from the EU following a 2016 referendum where 52% voted to leave. It is currently scheduled to occur on March 29, 2019 but could be delayed. Economists argue Brexit will likely reduce UK income and trade, costing the UK economy billions annually. Implementing Brexit faces challenges regarding the Irish border, fisheries, and passing the EU Withdrawal Bill through Parliament.

The United Kingdom had made an official exit from the European Union on January 31, 2020. However, both parties decided to keep many clauses and functions untouched till December 31, 2020 for a smooth transition. Therefore, as a result of the ‘Brexit’, from January 1, 2021, many things changed for the people of the United Kingdom, as well as, for the European Union.

Lesson 7

clemaitre

The document discusses various topics related to international migration policies. It begins by explaining that a country's migration policy depends on three main factors: wealth, skills, and opportunities. Wealthy and high-skilled individuals generally have more opportunities to migrate between countries. In contrast, citizens of countries like North Korea have very limited migration opportunities due to their nation's policies. The document then notes that the European Union's Schengen Agreement, which allows open border movement between countries, is currently facing threats from trends like de-globalization and concerns about cultural identity. Overall, the ability to migrate varies significantly between individuals and countries based on economic and policy factors.
