Difficulty: Medium
Correct Answer: Only II and III are strong
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Labour mobility has costs (brain drain) and benefits (remittances, skill/knowledge inflows). A blanket ban is extreme and likely counterproductive.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
II and III present concrete, economy-wide benefits from mobility. I asserts exclusivity without evidence and ignores incentives/retention policies.
Step-by-Step Solution:
I: False necessity; ignores scholarships-with-service or R&D incentives ⇒ weak.II: Remittance channel is real and material ⇒ strong.III: Knowledge/innovation spillovers via diaspora ⇒ strong.
Verification / Alternative check:
Many countries leverage diaspora networks rather than bans; this supports II and III.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Including I validates an extreme, unjustified claim; “None” ignores clear benefits.
Common Pitfalls:
Assuming mobility only causes loss; ignoring circular migration.
Final Answer:
Only II and III are strong.
