Social Solidarity is the degree or type (see below) of integration of a society. This use of the term is generally employed in sociology and the other social sciences.
According to Émile Durkheim, the types of social solidarity correlate with types of society. In simpler societies (e.g., tribal), solidarity is usually based on kinship[mechanical solidarity] ties or familial networks. In more complex societies (e.g., democracies), solidarity is more organic. Organic here is referring to the interdependence of the component parts. Thus, social solidarity is maintained in more complex societies through the interdependence of its component parts (e.g., farmers produce the food to feed the factory workers who produce the tractors that allow the farmer to produce the food). For more information on these two types of social solidarity, see social disintegration.
