Increased migration can be a powerful tool for development. Even a modest expansion in labour mobility could lead to substantial gains for the poorest. But current international structures for managing migration and promoting openness are weak when compared to their counterparts in the fields of trade and investment. It is likely that in negotiating future agreements on economic integration, developing countries will increasingly seek access to labour markets of developed countries as a condition for opening their own markets to goods trade and professional services.
