Developed economies increasingly face a shortage of labour due to an ageing population and an increasingly educated labour force. Consequently, there is a need to fill the gap in the lower end of the labour market as people are more reluctant to fill these positions. This paper analyses the negotiations regarding the temporary movement of workers from developing to developed economies, which are taking place under the auspices of the GATS negotiations. The principal theme underlying the paper is that this movement is mutually beneficent to both economies, and it constructs a model to analyse the effects of easing the restrictions on this movement and the impact such a move would have. It should be of particular use to those involved in formulating policies for employment and immigration in developed and developing countries.
