Replying to

Workers face challenges in adapting to labour market changes due to skill gaps, job insecurity, geographic barriers, and discrimination.
Government policies and programs influence labour mobility through education, infrastructure, tax incentives, and labour regulations.
Globalization affects labour mobility by creating job opportunities, increasing competition, influencing wages, and introducing cultural and legal barriers.
Labour unions promote mobility by advocating for fair wages and training but can hinder it by enforcing strict job protections and resisting outsourcing.
Brain drain harms developing countries by reducing skilled workforce availability, slowing economic growth, and widening inequality, but can also bring remittances and knowledge transfer.
Technology, such as digital platforms, enhances labour mobility by connecting workers to global job opportunities, enabling remote work, and providing access to online training.
