Theory of Labor Mobility: Does it Work in Practice?

This bachelor thesis will focus on the theory about labor mobility. This theory implies that unemployed people will move to other countries or regions where there are vacant jobs. But does it really work that way or are there impediments which make people unwilling to move, even when they’re unemployment and could get a job elsewhere? According to this bachelor thesis migration depends on a lot of aspects other than unemployment. This makes it very hard to measure the influence of unemployment on the migration rates. However, literature shows that a lot of unemployed people still do not want to move for a job, because of personal reasons. This makes labor mobility a perfect concept in literature, but almost impossible to be fully realized in the real world
