Work moves around. If it can be produced cheaper, more efficiently or better, it gets relocated.

Talent moves around. If one area on the globe is more exciting and thrilling than another, people relocate.

Works moves around. And people that perform the work move around. Not necessarily dependent of each other.

Regional population changes rapidly. Asia gets a booming population growth. First world nations have a enormous amount of seniors coming towards them as the babyboomers are getting old. With regional changes in the populations, the demand for work shifts.
