Question

Which of the following reflects a dominant trend in regards to immigrant workers in national economies? More highly skilled workers are becoming mobile in order to gain greater experience in their field Advanced economies are recruiting skilled workers but only for a few very specialized industries Advanced economies are seeing highly skilled people from developing countries migrate to pursue more lucrative opportunities than their home country can offer Middle skilled workers are migrating in huge numbers outpacing both low skilled and high skilled worker migration

Answer 1

Advanced economies are seeing highly skilled people from developing countries migrate to pursue more lucrative opportunities than their home country can offer

In most of the economies we see that the highly skilled workers are welcomed since the domestic economy cannot fulfil the needs of the country Hence they are open to highly skilled workers.

Option 1 is not true since high skilled workers are in demand anyway and they dont migrate for greater experience.Option 2 is incorrect since the specialization is not industry based but is rather skill based. Option 4 is incorrect since middle skilled workers are no longer preferred from other countries. The motive is either low skill-low cost migration or highly skilled migration.
