Produktbeschreibung
Although much literature on human trafficking focuses on sex trafficking, a great deal of human trafficking results from migrant workers, compelled - by economic deprivation in their home countries - to seek better life opportunities abroad, especially in agriculture, construction and domestic work. Such labour migration is sometimes legal and well managed, but sometimes not so with migrant workers frequently threatened or coerced into entering debt bondage arrangements, and ending up working in forced labour situations, producing goods for illicit markets. This book fills a substantial gap in the literature given labour trafficking is a much more subtle forms of exploitation than sex trafficking. It discusses how far large multinational corporations are involved, intentionally and unintentionally, in such exploitative labour practices. It explores how far corporations are driven to seek cheap labour by the need to remain commercially competitive, examines how the problem often lies with corporations subcontractors, who are not as well controlled as they might be, and outlines and assesses measures being taken by governments and international agencies to eradicate the problem.
