I don't see the answer choices. Could you paste them?

Commonly the two consequences that would cause workers to emigrate are:

- Specialization away from labor‑intensive industries (so domestic demand for unskilled labor falls and workers lose jobs), and
- Higher relative wages in the neighboring country for labor‑intensive production (so workers move to take better‑paid jobs there).

These follow from Heckscher–Ohlin / Stolper–Samuelson effects: trade raises returns to the country’s abundant factor and lowers returns to the scarce factor, prompting affected workers to seek jobs abroad. If you paste the exact options I’ll pick the two that match this logic.
