My nutshell better world recipe: - make it easier/cheaper for people to move/resettle, within & between countries; - make it easier/cheaper for people to gain skills/knowledge AND credibly prove it; - actively fight regulatory capture & encourage experiments across industries

Eliminating the incentives for [and friction of] home ownership would make it easier to move.
-
Agreed. A big one in that friction is the assumption by many organizations that you're going to have one address for a long time. It's an incredible pain to update addresses when you move almost once a year.

Re: gaining new skills, I've often thought the challenge is reducing the "unknown unknown" component in skill acquisition. IE people can't acquire skills of which they're unaware.
-
That's where online courses help. They give you the "map" of the topic which makes the unknown unknown into known unknown.

...and I love your third point about cross-industry experimentation. How would you envision promoting that?
-
Step one is being *extremely* cautious with regulation, acknowledging that it's sometimes necessary, but almost always cuts off potentially healthy branches along with the sick. There is no easy answer, only tradeoffs to be made.

The easier to move thing is coming, as the global workforce peaks well before population peak, mostly within 15 yrs. EG http://www.iberglobal.com/files/The_Global_Workforce_Crisis_bcg.pdf …

Is the moving component based on going to where the jobs are? If so, is it better to focus on frictionless remote work where available?

What to do about the fact that for some places / peoples shanty towns and slums are the most efficient form of housing, yet for other locales it's unacceptable to allow their existence? Zoning instead of borders? But we still have problems like SF
-
Among the same lines, in some places, having less elite doctors is better than no medical care at all. In other places, we only allow top students to study it.
