Explanation

(a) Mobility of labour refers to the ease and willingness of workers to move from one job to another, or from one area to another, either within the same occupation or to another field.

(b) Labour as a mobile factor of production may be unwilling to move due to:
(i) Social and cultural ties
(ii) length of training
(iii) the cost of movement from one place to another may be too high.
(iv) Trade union may restrict the movement of their members.
(vi) the climatic condition in some areas may not permit the movement of labour to such places.
(vii) Ignorance on the part of workers (If they are not aware of better conditions elsewhere, they may not move.)
(viii) The policy of the government can also reduce the movement of.labour.
