Authors

Abstract

The analysis of geographic or residential mobility from the sociological, economic, geographic, psychological and demographic sciences have made it possible to explain the movements of people from small cities to large cities and with it, the flexible trend of the labor market, which It allows the employer to organize human resources in a more competitive way so that workers can be transferred or displaced by companies from one workplace to another from where they usually reside. A study on internal geographic mobility in the Cuban labor legal system is presented. The results obtained from this study demonstrate the need to improve Cuban labor regulations in order to regulate internal geographic mobility as grounds for modifying the employment contract to protect the worker’s right to geographical permanence in his workplace.

Keywords:

Geographical mobility, employment contract, transfer, displacement, workers.
