ETYM Latin mobilitas: cf. French mobilité.
In economics, the degree of movement of the factors of production from one occupation to another (occupational mobility) or from one region to another (regional mobility). The labor mobility of unskilled workers is not very great in the UK, for example, because of the lack of knowledge about jobs between one part of the country and another and because it is so difficult to find affordable housing in some areas.
The quality of moving freely.
