Labour Migration, Human Trafficking and Multinational Corporations (eBook, ePUB)

The Commodification of Illicit Flows
Redaktion: Quayson, Ato; Arhin, Antonela

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book discusses how far large multinational corporations are involved, intentionally and unintentionally, in such exploitative labor 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.
