CONVENTION OF THE GOAN DIASPORA FROM GOA INTO THE WORLD

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.
