Methods of correcting the Geographical Immobility of Labour:
|
1 - Build more houses in the south. This will act as an increase in supply, therefore resulting in prices for houses in the south to fall, making them more affordable for potential work.
2 - Increase the flow of available jobs to areas of high unemployment. 3 - Offer relocation subsidies to those willing to move to areas with potential work. 4 - Improve public transport in order to enable long distance travelling between regions more easily. 5 - Encourage relocation of firms to areas of high unemployment |
