In the given scenario, when the demand for a city's goods and services decreases, there might not be a corresponding out-migration due to various reasons:
1. **Family and Emotional Bonds**: Workers may have strong family ties and emotional connections to the city, which can limit their willingness to move away even when opportunities decline. These bonds can act as a barrier to out-migration.
2. **Unemployed Workers' Skills**: Unemployed workers in the city may possess skills that are specific to the local industry or not easily transferable to another city. This lack of transferable skills can hinder their ability to seek employment elsewhere.
3. **Economic Conditions**: The decline in demand for goods and services in a city does not necessarily mean the entire country's economy is in decline. Other regions within the country may still offer opportunities for work, but workers may choose to stay due to the reasons mentioned above.
4. **Government Policies**: In some countries, there may be strict controls on migration that limit intercity movement. This can further restrict workers from leaving the city even when opportunities decrease.
In summary, the decision of workers to not migrate out of a city when demand for goods and services declines can be influenced by a combination of emotional attachments, lack of transferable skills, available opportunities in other regions, and governmental regulations on migration.
