Unlocking Global Labor Mobility: A Game-Changer for Economic Growth
The article discusses how the World Trade Organization is working on allowing more freedom for skilled workers to move between countries to provide services.

The goal is to improve understanding of the implications of such liberalization and provide valuable input for WTO negotiations and broader discussions on the topic.
