Trafficking in Human Beings for Labor Exploitation: The Policy Dilemmas

Abstract

Globalization has caused, beside movement of goods and capital, massive movements of labour. Poverty and inequality in wealth distribution compel workers to migrate and to accept job in bad conditions and to be exploited. In addition employers’ demand for cheap labour and involvement of organized crime groups in recruitment and exploitation of the workers have created environment for trafficking in human beings for labour exploitation. Because majority of trafficked workers are migrants, and because clear criteria for differentiation between bad working conditions including low paid work and trafficking for labour exploitation do not exist, efficient policies to fight this phenomenon are not developed and implemented jet. The paper provides a framework for defining of policies which affects creation of environment within which the trafficking for laboru exploitation shell be prevented. Because of above, special attention will bi paid to following issues: human right protection; labour market; migration and international protection; and protection of the victims of trafficking and their social inclusion.
