Infrastructure availabilities as you mentioned is the core reason why one location thrives more than the other locations, as you have said, you can't compare the market sieze of a developed country to that of developing or underdeveloped countries, so for that reason there will always be people migrating from one region to the other for better performance and accomplishments.

It is very possible that in their former location that their hard work and even smart work are not even favored or even supported by the economy, that is somebody may be working hard or even working smartly but still have nothing to show for it simply because the economy is in a terrible state. For people like that who are naturally hard workers or smart workers but are unsuccessful in a location they are in, on relocating to another location where these attributes are favored, you find them getting successful more easily and even faster because the economy is good.

There are people who changes location due to their skills and experience on what they does, which directly refers as demands on the availability of the work or Job opportunities in that particular region or areas they are. Mr A could decide to relocate to specific area in search of greener pasture, and this refers to how such places could favor them more than their previous places.

Most times people change location in search of opportunities, it is very possible that their former location has more competition and they would move to a place where they would enjoy some degree of monopoly. Sometimes due to competition, skilled men slash prices to get jobs thereby making a very skilled job look very cheap and in that sense create an environment where people with those skills are underpaid, moving to a new location where there is limited competition could help you maintain the value of the work.

Again people move to have closer proximity to raw materials for their work. Someone into wood fabrication can relocate closer to the forest and market so they spend less on transportation and various taxes and in turn can offer their products at cheaper prices driving higher patronage.

Job security and personal security are some of the reasons why people migrate from one location to another location in other search of a more secure jobs and also make sure they are also safe without being killed, kidnapped, robbed or harassed. When you are working in a particular environment and your safety is threatened, there is every tendency that you will migrate from that location to another location were you will be safe with your family. Irrespective of the salary they are paying you, if your safety is not guaranteed you have to leave that region. If your job is not also secured and you have offer of a more secured job elsewhere, you will have to migrate to that region with a more secured job.

Initially people change location basically due to job opportunities not necessarily hard work, cause finding oneself in a niche where the person is encapped with not exploring their skills and abilities, most individuals tend to go in search of location or would rather want to find themselves in locations that favours their basic skills and job experience that way they can change their lives and be financially stable.

You might be hard working or smart work but sometimes your services might not really be needed at your current location, you will have to change location to where you will be needed. No matter how hard working you are, if your services aren’t needed, then you won’t really be useful at the location, you need to move to where you will be valued. Everything is not about hard work sometimes, you might be hard working, and you might not have proper facilities at your current location, you need to move to places where you have appropriate facilities.

[Plaguedeath]

Some countries appreciate the value you can bring, even though the result looks bad, but they're still willing to appreciate your effort.

There are some countries who don't care about the process and effort, but they only care about the result, as long as the result is same, the process and effort won't matter.

Hence, many people move to first world countries when they have talent or skill that didn't get appreciate by their former countries.

While bad person will choose to stay/move to third world countries because they don't care about the effort as long as they can earn money including illegal activities.

In my country, the tagline "KABUR AJA DULU" recently went viral, describing high-achieving individuals as preferring to work abroad rather than in my country, believing the government has failed to recognize their achievements by providing good jobs with adequate wages.

National and international migration are fundamentally rational economic decisions, not moral failures or lack of work ethic. Hard work and smart work are always necessary, but the results are highly dependent on the systemic context (legal institutions, economic structure, political stability). In countries with fragile systems, hard work only keeps someone alive, not promoted. There's a saying: "Tough people don't run from difficulties." In economic reality, resilience means knowing when to persevere and when to move on.

Hard work and smart work are sufficient in countries with healthy systems, lacking in those with broken systems, and suboptimal in stagnant countries. Hard work is a necessary condition, but not a sufficient condition without a supportive ecosystem.

People don't migrate because they don't want to work hard, but because their hard work isn't fairly rewarded in their home countries. In a world that is economically and politically unequal, the form of resilience is the ability to adapt, smart work is consciously choosing an arena and courage is being willing to leave a system that is essentially a home/hometown that does not provide a future.

From my perspective, I would like to believe that a new location may be a critical factor when it comes to the return on your individual effort and value.
Ones value and individual effort in this case is determined by their hard work and smart work of which the new location could offer to pay premium for the level of intelligence and dedication one already has.

The truth is that one has to move to a better place where hardwork and smart work is priced at a much higher rate due to better opportunities, competition and capital.

[348Judah]

Location is very important when considering for a lucrative business ideas, we cant afford to go to a location that has no prospect, we mostly need to think smart than thinking hard, because sometimes, its not by hard works, but how smart we are, and for us to be able to achieve our target and draw some result, we need to make the necessary survey in other to use a location that could drive sales or patronage to what we do.

It is an unfortunate effect of bad politicians and poor government planning, people moving to "greener pastures" in hopes of making more money to save for the future of their families is the direct result of those things, if there are no corruption in your country, you would not be gambling yourself into slaving away in another country just to get a decent money for your family. This is the reality that you are talking about OP, a bad country with really incompetent politicians and economic planners results in this reality and to answer your last question, yes, sometimes it will never be enough that you work hard and smart because the odds in that country is against you, they make policies that do not serve the greater good and that would benefit the mass and with policies like that, you will never get what you deserve in that place unless you move somewhere that will pay you more.

Tax policies could make people change location. Some people work hard or smart but high taxes could make them want to leave a place. The United Arab Emirates has been attracting lots of immigrants due to its friendly tax policies.

The cost of living could also have an economic effect on workers. Countroes with cheaper cost of living will encourage personal saving snad investments. Whereas, workers move out of expensive countries because harwork might not lead to financial stability.

Many people in my country think life is great in foreign countries and it sucks completely in their home country. They think they will become heroes once they move to a different country because they always blame others for their financial situation. They don’t know that life is hard in any country. There isn’t a country that offers a free garden of roses to everyone. If you don’t have an in-demand skill, you’ll probably not be making more than the minimum wage and in most big cities in Europe you can only pay your rent and bills with that money.

It is probably much better to make use of what you have first rather than trying to switch countries. Most people don’t see the opportunities that are in front of them. Their eyes won’t start seeing them opportunities just because the location has changed.

[Royal Cap]

I think people don't just move places out of laziness or luxury, most of the time they do it in search of opportunities. In many places no matter how hard you work and how smart you are it becomes difficult to find the right opportunity or fair price. So moving places doesn't mean that the hard work in the previous place is not worth it but rather that the new place has the opportunity to put that hard work to better use, In my opinion hard work and smart work are important everywhere but the results often differ from place to place.

former location(s)?

Former location (s), I guess what you mean is where the individual was living before relocating? Because I almost missed what you meant.

Does it mean hard work and or smart work are most times or some times not enough in former location(s)?

Well there are different reasons that make people to relocate. Lately, I have noticed that people relocate for safety. Insecurity is on the increase and it is enough reason for people to move out to places they feel they are secured. So if you are hard working or smart at your work and making profit but at the end you are kidnapped or robbed at gun point and you lose what you have. And it keeps happening repeatedly, you will be forced to relocate to safe your life and that of your family because you never can tell the outcome of the next target of those oppressors, attackers, hoodlums and the political enemies. Like I said, different reasons are very valid for relocation and economic reasons are not difficult to point at. Then some professions are better appreciated in different countries which pushes people to those places. It is not only about working smart it includes taking the right decisions.

[Stablexcoin]

Based on my experience, location plays a big role in how hard work is rewarded. You can be skilled and disciplined, but if you’re in a country with a weak economy, opportunities are often limited. Moving doesn’t erase past effort, it just puts that same effort in a place where it can pay off better.

Very true, we can both be doing the same job, undergo the same working hours with the same working difficulty yet, i leave less standard to someone in a different country. It is always about looking and living in a greener pasture, if the economy of a country isn't fertile, despite the level of hard work and smart work there will be discouraging limits to what you obtain compared to someone in a blissed economy. 

It is not an issue to move out of location in need for a better life, there is no shame to leave your country and find means of survival outside, the goal of the human race is to survive, no matter what it takes, i rather work a less reputable job outside my location and live standard than stay inside earning poorly meanwhile i continue suffering.

This number actually fluctuates a lot by country, i.e. the amount of people who choose to emigrate and the amount of immigrants coming in. Take the Philippines for example, it has a lot of people leaving for jobs abroad but depending on where they want to go they need varying degrees of qualifications. If they want to move to Dubai they may be accepted with less education background than trying to get into parts of Europe. It actually takes a lot of drive and guts to move abroad, often to countries that speak other languages, so it's very admirable when people do - as long as they're following the legal channels to do it. The majority of people just tend to stick in their own country, but they can be vast too - just imagine moving across Canada or Russia.

It is very possible that in their former location that their hard work and even smart work are not even favored or even supported by the economy, that is somebody may be working hard or even working smartly but still have nothing to show for it simply because the economy is in a terrible state. For people like that who are naturally hard workers or smart workers but are unsuccessful in a location they are in, on relocating to another location where these attributes are favored, you find them getting successful more easily and even faster because the economy is good.

For some people, location is just their problem because they have all it takes to succeed, but still, it is not just a walk in the park for them. However, I don’t see any reason why one would continue to remain in a particular location when they have put in so much hard work and smart work but still can't make it.

People need to be wise enough to change their environment, knowing that hard work is not making any difference. The purpose of life is to create value, and wherever one can make this value, it is best to change the environment. It is unwise to struggle in a place where there are no opportunities, even with all the abilities one has.
