      ab: Migration for employment is a growing trend, and although foreign workers make economic sense for industrialized countries, these countries are reluctant to let in outsiders. The International Labour Organization (ILO) predicts that the number of migrant workers will grow over the next 20 years as large groups of people are displaced. In addition, migrant labor will be required by rich states, as their populations are expected to shrink and age dramatically in the future. Attracting migrant workers may be the only means by which developed countries can sustain economic prosperity without reducing entitlements. Migration is a global issue but remains regulated at the national level, and the task of protecting workers has been left to the UN and the ILO. The UN is moving toward the enactment of an international convention to protect migrants and their families, which was adopted by the General Assembly in 1990. The states that have signed up are mainly those who export workers, and it unclear if developed states will comply with the convention's demands.
