Answer

an economic policy in which countries collect gold or silver and control trade

Explanation

Mercantilism is also known as Commercialism which was  a system  in which a country attempts to amass wealth through trade with other countries, exporting more than it imports and increasing stores of gold and precious metals.  This form of trade theory espoused by the major powers.It advocated that a nation should export more than it imported and accumulate bullion (especially gold) to make up the difference. The exportation of finished goods was favored over extractive industries like farming. Its importance was that  Mercantilism restricts imports, which reduces the choices available to consumers in the marketplace

zavuch27 [327]
I don't know what "all other" factors could mean - since we don't know what factors have already been mentioned - but I assume that the pay and work conditions would be the same (those could be the "all other" here and the difference is Italy vs Germany/Belgium). 

Generally, Italy is not a very likely destination for migrant workers, since it has recently been struggling economically. The payment, working conditions and work stability are likely to be better in Germany or Belgium, so if one can find a job, there, one is more likely to go to Germany or Belgium
