ASEAN urges mobility of workers

SINGAPORE - The World Bank says ASEAN countries can do more to increase mobility of workers moving from one country to another to further integrate the bloc and its economy.

As ASEAN seeks further integration, its members should lower barriers for their workers to move in and out of one another's countries, said the World Bank.

In doing so, they can reap benefits by spreading talent and know-how around ASEAN, one of the world's fastest-growing regions.
