Mobility of Resources

During last weeks lessons, we looked at scarce resources, commonly referred to as the factors of production - land, labour, capital and enterprise.

In Monday's lesson, we will look at the mobility of these resources and I have attached an interesting article on the two types of factor immobility - geographical and occupational. Please feel free to read them and hopefully you find some relevant information.
