Abstract
CARICOM as a small regional trading agreement is characterized by economies with differing degrees of development. This article reviews the differing economic attributes of these various CARICOM states and then discusses in detail how the intra-regional movement of skilled workers (such as nurses) can help to solve some of the regional shortages of skills which exists for this category of workers. The article argues that this type of skilled worker movement can provide considerable benefits for migrant nurses without the drift of their skills beyond the region.Keywords
