------------------------------------------------------- CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD Lisbon, Portugal June 15-17, 2007 Details at: http://www.casadegoa.org -------------------------------------------------------
I am a week old at Goanet. I am on quite a few lists, but Goanet stands out for the level of participation. I wonder how many people are on this list. Selma: ================== Labour does not operate in free markets as capital does. Capital moves where there is a vacuum and potential for success. Once that vacuum is filled and there is no further availability of profit, it leaves. Labour on the other hand moves where it sees potential for jobs but once the potential is filled, it will not leave because these are human beings who create ties to geographical locations, unlike capital. Hence, you have a glut and unemployment and the myriad of problems that come with it. =================== Perfectly put. I fully agree with your point of view. When I talk to some people regarding this issue, I get the feeling that they believe that what migrants are doing to Goa is "wrong" but what we are doing to the rest of the world is "right". My post was simply putting things in perspective.
