It is a problem but unfortunately not a solvable one.

It's the equivalent of paying everyone the same wage. Countries are going to aggressively compete for talent just like companies do. And whether it's offering them different tax rates, amending employment laws, building infrastructure for them etc countries are going to bend over backwards.

It is solvable through international agreements between countries. Unfortunately those tend to defend companies more than individuals.

But hey, maybe the recent TTIP backlash and apparent failure is part of a positive trend.
