freedom to live and work ... please evaluate

[zibs]

People now have the freedom to work and live anywhere in the world due to the development of communication technology and transportation.
Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

It is true that the rapid progress in the fields of communication, technology and transportation has enabled people to seek employment and reside in countries of their choice. I believe that the resulting economic development of poor nations and equal opportunities arising from globalisation mean that this phenomenon has more benefits than drawbacks.

Admittedly, the new found liberty to work and live in the country of one's choice does pose some problems for developing nations. One such problem is the brain drain, with most skilled workers of third world nations opting to migrate to western countries. This results in a dearth of technical manpower in the poorer nations, as was only too obvious after the 2015 earthquake in Nepal. Despite billions of dollars in funds streaming in from all across the world for reconstruction, the rebuilding process experienced one obstacle after another as the number of civil engineers and architects, most of whom had emigrated, was inadequate. Another possible disadvantage is that family ties weaken when individuals go to work abroad. The rate of divorce in Nepal, for instance, has shot up in recent years which has been attributed to husbands working abroad, while their spouses are forced to live alone in Nepal. So, as people get the opportunity of working in countries of their choice, they might neglect their responsibilities to family and thereby family life could suffer.

Nevertheless, despite the disadvantages mentioned above, I think that the economic prosperity and equality more than compensate for the drawbacks. Firstly, when people have the freedom to decide where they want to work, they can choose high paying jobs that are not available in their home nations. Thereby, they can earn significantly more and support their families better. Furthermore, globalisation provides equal opportunities for everyone and people are not restrained by the limitations of poor facilities in their native nation. My father, for example, was able to fulfil his dream of working as a specialist in the field of farming of new breeds of sweet pepper only after he migrated to the UK as the technology required for that was lacking in Nepal. So, now talent is the only determining factors for achieving success as people can negate financial or technical limitations by moving to a place that offers them the desired working condition.

In conclusion, I am of the opinion that economic upliftment and creation of a level playing field for everyone far outweighs any minor drawbacks that could result from the leeway in deciding the destination to live and work.
