The article analyzes the legal problems in the implementation of international labour standards on the abolition of forced labour in the national legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Fundamental documents of the International Labour Organization on the abolition of forced labour – the legal nature of the Forced Labour Convention No.29, 1930 and the the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention No.105, 1957, the content of national legislation on this issue. The practice of assimilation of the provisions of international agreements on labor issues, which are legally binding for Uzbekistan, into national legislation, the compliance of some issues regulated by the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan on labor relations with the norms of international documents has been studied. As a result of the study, conclusions were made on improving the legislation on labor, criminal and administrative liability, as well as amendments to Article 7 of the Labor Code, Article 1482 of the Criminal Code and Article 51 of the Code of Administrative Liability, the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On Employment" and were some suggestions on the appropriateness of making additions. Recommendations were made to amend the national legislation to abolition of forced and compulsory labour in order to bring it in line with international standards. The formation of institutional mechanisms for countering forced labour in Uzbekistan was studied in three periods, the specifics of each period, the functions of the established mechanisms, and the effectiveness of their activities were analyzed. In particular, the tasks of the National Commission for combating human trafficking and forced labour, created by the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. PD-5775 dated July 30, 2019, and the Institute of the National Rapporteur are set out.

Abstract:
Libertarians frequently complain that when a government taxes some of its citizens in order to help others, it is forcing them to behave altruistically. And obviously, we are meant to think, that use of force is morally objectionable. But what exactly makes taxation objectionable? One answer that many libertarians supply is that forcing some people to benefit others is wrong because it involves forced labour. The underlying thought seems to be that there is something morally troubling about making some people work for others. In this article I scrutinize this thought. After describing two different kinds of taxation, I show how the libertarian argument about taxes depends on a distinction between posing a threat to other people and failing to help them. This brings us to the moral bedrock of the argument that taxation is forced labour, namely the idea that no one has a right to force you to do something unless you pose a threat to other people. The bulk of my article is devoted to showing (1) that this idea cannot deliver the conclusion that libertarians want because it conflicts with other things that libertarians believe; and (2) once you give up on that idea, it turns out that taxation to benefit others is not necessarily wrong by libertarian standards.

Abstract:
The purpose of the article is to identify the problematic economic and legal aspects of anti-crisis management of the personnel potential of the enterprise in the conditions of strengthening the processes of forced labour migration of the population. The results obtained in the course of the research allow us to ascertain the significant impact on the activities of economic entities of modern challenges and dangers, which cause significant destructive changes in the labour resource management system of enterprises as a result of the threatening increase in the scale of forced labour migration, which exacerbates the shortage of personnel at domestic enterprises. and through the intensification of mobilization measures, which cause the movement of the economically active and highly qualified labour force to the structures of the defence forces and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The article analyzes the essence, features and interrelationship of the anti-crisis management of the personnel potential of the enterprise with the processes of forced labour migration of the population. It has been established that forced labour migration is a destabilizing factor in enterprise activity and creates prerequisites for the emergence of crisis situations. It has been proven that forced labour migration has a significant negative impact on the formation of labour resources of domestic enterprises, which causes a shortage of highly qualified workers. It was found that the processes of forced labour migration within the regions continue to intensify in Ukraine. In order to overcome crisis situations at the enterprise regarding the management of personnel potential, the most appropriate measures are proposed and substantiated. The model of anti-crisis management of the personnel potential of the enterprise in the conditions of strengthening the processes of forced labour migration of the population is substantiated and proposed.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article analyses the implications of the Forced Labour Convention of 1930 on colonial labour policies for road labour carried out under chiefs in the Gold Coast. The British colonial administration implemented a legal application of the convention that allowed the continuation of the existing system of public works. In the Gold Coast, the issue of road labour was most prominent in the North, where chiefs maintained the majority of roads. Indirect rule became crucial in retaining forced labour in compliance with the convention. This article focuses on “hidden strategies” of British colonialism after 1930, contrasting studies of blatant cases of forced labour. The analysis is based on a close scrutiny of the internal discourse among colonial officials on the question of road labour and the Forced Labour Convention.

Abstract:
Forced labour is a social phenomenon which, due to its unique nature, is difficult to understand, accept and prosecute. Given the unsuccessful attempts to deal with this problem in Poland, and similar experiences in other countries, one has to look for an answer to the question, why is this so? The answer seems obvious: because forced labour is not visible. And it is perhaps because we have a problem understanding the phenomenon itself? The existing legal definition is not particularly helpful in this regard. Therefore, in this two-part article I present a different approach to understanding forced labour and a different definition of the phenomenon. The starting point of this article is the assumption that, in describing forced labour, it is worth moving away from a legal and criminal perspective and looking at this phenomenon in the spirit of humanistic sociology, growing out of the concepts of social pragmatism and symbolic interactionism. The analysis of the reaction of the Polish authorities to the cases of forced labor described in the first article proves that a new perspective is necessary. It turns out that the social system did not take advantage of this unique opportunity and did not learn anything new. A completely new circumstance is the war in Ukraine, which has brought several hundred thousand refugees to Poland, who may also be victims of various forms of exploitation. The new model of analysis of forced labour that is proposed here consists of five elements: exploitation, cognitive façade, cultural taboo, symbolic visibility and subtlety of means of control. It is tempting to hypothesise that the effectiveness of combating forced labour will be greater if we 'see' this crime in a different light than just the “glamour” of traditional slavery.

Abstract:
The aim of this study is to explore how agencies in Gävleborg operate and collaborate in cases concerned with trafficking for forced labour. The study also aims to investigate the agencies employees’ perception of how the collaboration affect the result of their work. The collaboration in Gävleborg is an interdisciplinary collaboration which the social services is a part of. Since the authors of this study are students of the social work program, the social worker’s role has naturally been reflected and slightly more focused on. The theories used in this study are team typology and influencing factors. The theories provides an explanation of how different professions work together and what factors influence their work. By doing semi-structured interviews with five employees from different collaborating agencies the authors have found out more about the collaborative work done in Gävleborg and the perception the employees have of the collaboration. The result shows an overall positive attitude towards the collaboration and that the interdisciplinary collaboration contributes to a developed work process that benefit the victims of trafficking for forced labour.

Abstract:
The problems of forced labour and degrading work persist within modern sectors of contemporary economies. This presents both a practical and a theoretical challenge, as reflected in the literature on new slavery and on unfree labour. Analysis of the production networks within which forced labour and degrading work are found, however, has yet to form a central theme within these bodies of literature. This thesis contributes to filling the above-mentioned gap in the literature by exploring the role of the labour dynamics of production networks in two cases of 'slave labour' in Brazil. The first case involves internal migrant workers in sugar cane while the second case involves cross-border migrants in garment workshops. The thesis addresses the question of whether, and how, the labour dynamics of production networks contribute to 'slave labour' and degrading work in the Brazilian sugar cane and garment sectors. The analysis is a cross-disciplinary one, rooted in development studies but also drawing on economic geography, sociology and economics. A case study method is used, relying principally on archival sources, a focus group and semi-stuctured interviews. Drawing on and developing the Global Production Network (GPN) framework, dynamics of production networks are conceived of as sets of power relations which structure the constraints and opportunities for the various actors who negotiate within them. These interlocking sets of relations include, among others: relations between workers, producers, suppliers, buyers, market intermediaries, civil society groups and the state. The labour dynamics of production networks are the subset of these dynamics involving or impacting relations between workers and employers and thereby structuring conditions of employment. Conditions of employment for migrant workers are examined in each case to show how these constitute 'slave labour.' Degrading conditions and restricted freedoms are found to exist to different degrees and along a number of dimensions. At the extreme, these conditions are labelled 'slave labour' in Brazil. It is argued that 'slave labour' in these cases is therefore a symptom of a wider problem of degrading work. The labour dynamics of production networks are analysed to reveal how producers at labour-intensive stages of production in both cases face increased levels of competition, and their strategies in response to these pressures intersect with the strategies of migrant workers and labour market intermediaries to produce outcomes of 'slave labour' and degrading work. Race, gender and migration status play a complex role in creating categories of workers vulnerable to degrading work and 'slave labour,' drawing attention to the way that production is necessarily embedded in particular socio-economic contexts. The analysis highlights the importance of accounting for and intervening in production networks within efforts to address 'slave labour' and degrading work.

Abstract:
This is a study of survival and the 'Final Solution', taking its perspective from over One hundred-and-fifty eyewitness Jewish testimonies from the Wiener Library Archive. The importance of the victims' perspective is clear in that the majority of historiography uses a Nazi perspective in its analysis, leaving the Jews to tell of their experiences in separate autobiographies. In this way, the archive has largely been ignored by historians, yet provides some challenging insights into the three central aspects of the Holocaust of emigration, deportation, and forced labour. These aspects serve as the framework for analysis and focus on four key themes of survival. Firstly, the awareness of Jews as to the true nature of the Nazi regime. Secondly, how these Jews were treated by European non-Jews who have often been criticized in secondary literature for being anti-Semitic. Thirdly, how the various German regions were inconsistent in dealing with European Jews; sometimes indifferent to the low status of Jews in the Nazi hierarchy and other times imposing extensive and vicious procedures to further the policy of making Germany Judenfrei. Fourthly, the extent of pure luck in saving many Jews from the death centres. Ultimately, this study sets out both to analyse these four key themes individually and to discover how they influenced survival in combination. This will demonstrate the complexity of everyday existence in the Holocaust and how adapting to it often required more than just a single moment of adjustment to its severity.

The following thesis is an investigation of the actors, the forces and the conditions contributing to the phenomenon of forced labor in the Brazilian countryside. The paper begins by providing a relevant historical background to the problem of coercive labor, starting with the colonial legacy of slavery, dating back to the 16th century and leading up to the present. The aim is to explore the role of local actors, in particular landowners, gatos and the ‘enslaved’ (or workers coerced into forced labor) in constituting and re-constituting this phenomenon. At the same time the influence of local actors is contextualized in light of broader transnational processes, such as the spread of capitalism and neo-liberal globalization.

Abstract:
This thesis sought to answer how different forms of capitalism address unfree labour conditions through an analysis of a crucial case, Nestlé S.A. The thesis employed the use of the Varieties of Capitalism theory to explore the forms of capitalism utilised in the global economy, a liberal market economy (LME) and Switzerland, a coordinated liberal market economy (CLME), the two systems Nestlé S.A. is embedded in. A computer-assisted content analysis with a discursive analytic framework was then used to identify which of the two systems Nestlé S.A. used more in its structure and rhetoric, and finally determined its prioritisation of LME traits within the Swiss CLME system. This prioritisation is found in the firm’s attempts to address forced labour, as its efforts are hindered by vague definitions of the problem and identifying farmer productivity as the core cause of forced labour in global supply chains.

Abstract:
The Nazis' deployment of foreigners (Ausländereinsatz) between 1939 and 1945 established one of the largest forced labour programs since the abolition of slavery during the nineteenth century. Foreign civilians from across Europe were deployed in Germany's war economy. Between 350,000 and 400,000 Belgian civilians were deployed in Germany during the Second World War- roughly half of these workers went to Germany voluntarily, but under a degree of pressure due to the Military Administration's economic policies in occupied Belgium. This thesis examines the implementation of the Nazi forced labour program through the analysis of the lives of Belgians who worked in Germany in the period 1940-1945 and by using a variety of original sources, including the records of the German Military Administration in Belgium and German and Belgian labour officials and the accounts of those who lived and worked in Germany. This thesis proposes a social history of the Nazi foreign labour program with a strong focus on the history of everyday life, drawing extensively on records such as letters, diaries, photographs and personal accounts of Belgians who worked in Germany during the Second World War, as well as hospital, police and judicial records. The employment patterns and experiences of Belgians deployed in Germany are examined through detailed case studies of Berlin and Düsseldorf, industrialised cities where Belgians were deployed in significant numbers. The Nazi regime divided Belgium's population along linguistic lines: Belgians were officially subject to differentiated treatment based on whether they were Flemings or Walloons. Examining the treatment of Belgians by the Nazi regime and comparing Nazi racial policies and practice, this thesis emphasises the key role played by local authorities, employers and individual Germans in shaping the experiences of foreign workers. It is argued that an important distinction must be made in relation to the material advantages western European workers enjoyed due to their elevated position in the Nazi racial hierarchy and the benefits individual foreign workers were able to secure by virtue of their employment skills, linguistic skills and greater confidence. The experiences of Belgian workers are also compared and contrasted with those of other national groups and are related to the broader history of foreign labour in Nazi Germany. This study also examines the experiences of Belgian women. While Belgian women represented close to 15 percent of Belgians deployed in Germany, studies of Belgian labour in Germany have largely overlooked their experiences. Utilising the limited available sources, this thesis contributes to an understanding of women's experiences. By focussing on the social history of the Ausländereinsatz and the stories of individual Belgians, this thesis maps the varied experiences of Belgians in Germany during the Second World War, illustrating convergence and divergence from Nazi racial policy and the fundamental role ordinary Germans played. More importantly, however, this thesis shows that Belgian civilian workers were not just passive victims of the German occupation. The decision to go to Germany to work was a personal one for many Belgian volunteers, based on individual circumstances. In difficult economic times and with no end to the war in sight, Belgians sought to navigate the best course for themselves and their families. While conscripts were by definition not free, as western Europeans Belgians were afforded greater rights and legal protections, which ensured they had room for manoeuvre and were able to exercise a significant degree of control over their own destinies.

Cela passe également par le débat et le processus par lesquels le gouvernement colonial a résolu et normalisé la relation entre l'esclavage et le travail forcé face à de nouvelles critiques de missionnaires et de citoyens locaux et soutient que l'utilisation d'un langage juridique était cruciale dans ce discours.

Abstract:
The fishing industry is worth approximately $1.4 billion annually to the New Zealand economy, making seafood New Zealand's fifth largest export earner, and giving the industry as a whole a position of high importance to New Zealand. All is not well however. Recent events have exposed a sordid underside to this industry involving the abuse of labour of foreign fishermen at the hands of Korean boat owners, chartered by New Zealand companies to fish New Zealand waters. Since the introduction of the quota management system in the 1980s, the New Zealand fishing industry has had problems relating to the exploitation of migrant workers. In some instances, this exploitation appears to be manifested in the form of human trafficking. Adopting a socio-legal methodology, this thesis examines the facts that support claims of human trafficking of economically vulnerable fishers from countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines into New Zealand, where they are required to work in exploitative conditions upon foreign charter vessels in New Zealand's exclusive economic zone. Having established the argument for the existence of human trafficking in New Zealand's territory (a claim which has been consistently downplayed or denied by government officials) this thesis then examines the evolving nature of the legal obligations that have been placed upon the New Zealand government by international law. Combining these international obligations with standards of best practice that have been derived from an examination of three other jurisdictions - Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States of America - into a set of benchmark criteria, this thesis concludes with a critical assessment of the New Zealand anti-trafficking framework by these standards.

Abstract:
Abstract This “Work Force Development Initiatives” presentation will detail 2 initiatives that are being undertaken by both the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) and the Shipbuilders Council of America (SCA) on Work Force Development for 2019-2020. The main purpose of the presentation is to give awareness to the on-going issues and progress of Work Force Development in the shipbuilding and preservation trades. Both organizations are actively trying to implement Work Force Development recruitment and training programs that will be supported by the Navy. It is important for all SSPC members to understand what is happening with Work Force Development in the Shipbuilding Industry to potentially jump start initiatives within SSPC. The presentation will give an in depth description of what the NSRP's Work Force Development and Surface Preparation Panels are collaborating on, and also provide details of what the SCA is doing to recruit qualified labor through potential partnership programs. Both organizations have begun to develop marketing plans and programs to train and hire labor in a similar way. The last part of this presentation should/could be a hearty question and answer with whomever attends to heighten the awareness and hopefully incite the members of the need to implement a Work Force Development program of their own.

Abstract:
The labour market is the main factor of production in a market economy. Its participants are the economically active part of the population, public and private economic entities. The main mechanisms of the functioning of the labour market are the creation of labour force and jobs, through which the demand, supply and distribution of labour force, employment levels of the population are regulated. It is obvious that the efficiency of the economy, as a rule, largely depends on the labour resources of the state. The factors determining the growth of the national economy are labour productivity, labour potential and the level of expertise of the workforce. The paper examines the main trends in the labour market in the conditions of economic modernization, for example, the forced transition from the production to the demand sector, the increase in the vertical and horizontal gap between supply and demand. The labour market of the last decade has been characterized by a worldwide increase in the level of qualification of employees due to an increase in the number of specialists with higher education. This trend can be traced according to the requirements of employers about the availability of the necessary skills of applicants depending on the area of responsibility. The paper analyzes the dynamics of the main indicators of the labour market in modern economic conditions. The problems of functioning of the Russian labour market are revealed.

Abstract:
The article describes the living conditions, situation and spatial placement of Ukrainian forced migrants in the Czech Republic. As a result of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war, almost 370,000 Ukrainians fleeing the war received temporary shelter in the Czech Republic. The research methodology is based on the results of a sociological survey, the purpose of which was to establish the living conditions of refugees in the Czech Republic and their attitudes towards further stay. It has been established that the majority of migrants are concentrated in the capital (Prague), Central Bohemia, Moravian-Silesian and South Moravian regions. Among the migrants, natives from the western regions of Ukraine and the temporarily occupied territories of the south and east predominate almost equally. The key aspects in choosing a place of accommodation were cities where one of the family members worked or the reason was the big cities. Although half of the forced migrants are children, and 4/5 of the adult population are women, almost 70,000 migrants have already started working in official jobs. Despite this level of adaptation, 80% of refugees are determined to return home. Of course, the language barrier was the main problem during adaptation among the immigrants, but the majority are satisfied with the living conditions and the attitude of the Czechs towards them. Ukrainian labour migrants performed a fairly significant economic function in the Czech Republic even before the war, so the mass influx of forced migrants significantly revived the labour market and, due to social benefits, affected the economic situation. The economic effect of refugees is always largely negative, but in a rather short period it is compensated by the rapid adaptation of Ukrainians and the filling of certain sections of the labour market.

Abstract:
The paper analyses the historical, normative and practical aspects of prison labour. The first part is devoted to the historical development of penal systems and the purpose of punishment. There have been different conceptual approaches in different periods, starting from repressive and retributive elements and the function of punishment to the acceptance of the philosophy of resocialization and rehabilitation of convicts, the goal of which is to equip the individual for socially useful action and generally accepted behaviour. Namely, it has been observed that healthy and productive labour has an educational value, and changes the convicts' behaviour and living habits. Purposeful work contributes to the general well-being of prisoners, and also affects their awareness of the importance of accepting social norms. Therefore, the central part of the paper deals with the issue of legal regulation of prison labour, particularly analysing the relationship between prison and forced labour. In addition, the paper gives practical examples in order to shed light on the position of prisoners. At the same time, we strive to investigate to what extent prisoners were actively employed before imprisonment, and whether acquiring practical training during their sentence helped them to be better resocialized.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper is based on the concepts of neoliberal rationality (Wendy Brown) and the punitive turn represented by the expansion of the carceral mode and the punitive politics of marginality (Loïc Wacquant). It aims to emphasise that neoliberalism encompasses not only the dominance of the free market but also the establishment of a neoliberal state that combines neoliberal and paternalistic interventions in various social domains. Viewing neoliberalism as a pervasive rationality rather than just an economic (market) rule or ideology, we will analyse the dual relationship between exploitative discipline and rehabilitative modes in the context of capitalism's reproduction. The punitive culture of the neoliberal form of capitalist regulation of social relations, characterised by individualisation of responsibility through risk management, reflects the contemporary shift in the dynamics between capital, labour, and the state. Furthermore, we will, in brief, explore the historical context of the emergence and transformation of capitalism to shed light on the class conditioning and functions of the prison institution, as each socio-historical epoch is marked by a penal system best suited for the prevailing mode of accumulation. We will demonstrate how market discipline as a means of domination and exploitation permeates correctional institutions, particularly evident in prison work programs that apply market principles to control and manage prisoners while also serving as an alternative source of cheap labour. Mass incarceration can also be viewed as a method of forced consumption, especially in post-industrial economies with economic precariousness and growing wealth inequalities where demand is lacking. In these economies, the lack of demand, rather than labour, is a significant crisis of modern capitalism, and spending in prisons is used to compensate for this shortage. In conclusion, we will highlight the intricate relationship between the prison and state systems, the labour market, and the neoliberal form of capitalist regulation of social relations, wherein prison labour serves as a means of coercing consumption, sustaining economic growth, and creating cheap labour through a specific form of state-imposed non-free work.

Abstract:
The contemporary demographic landscape of Croatia has been significantly shaped by migration, including its directions, intensities, causes, and consequences. The complexity of migration is inseparable from the history of Croatia; therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide a brief overview of different types of migration from the end of World War II to the present. Internal migration is analysed with an emphasis on the migration from rural areas to cities, explaining the effects of these processes on the uneven distribution of the population. Different aspects of emigration and immigration up until Croatia’s independence are then analysed. While forced migration primarily shaped the demographic picture of Croatia in the 1990s, economic migration became dominant again at the beginning of the 21st century, significantly intensifying after Croatia’s accession to the European Union (EU). Intense emigration exacerbated already unfavourable demographic processes and accelerated labour market disruption, resulting in a labour shortage. After several decades dominated by emigration, migration in Croatia has diversified in the last ten years. Croatia has evolved into a transit country for migrants as well as an immigration destination, attracting individuals not solely from the former Yugoslav region. Since the 1990s, the majority of immigrants have been Croatian citizens from countries formed after the dissolution of SFR Yugoslavia. Most of the immigrants came from Bosnia and Herzegovina, predominantly ethnic Croats and primarily Croatian citizens, while the number of immigrants from other ethnicities was negligible. However, in recent years, migration patterns have been changing, and today most immigrants are citizens of third countries. Although those from European countries that are not members of the EU (countries formed after the dissolution of SFR Yugoslavia) still dominate among them, there is an increasing number of workers from Asia—Nepal, India, the Philippines, Bangladesh, and others.

Abstract:
Influenced by the current covid-19 situation in Latvia and in the world, work environment is associated with psychological load - the psycho-emotional risk factor as an aspect of cognitive ergonomics, which can affect employees’ health, productivity and quality. Forest nursery work is usually solitary, and it is conducted out-of-doors. In Latvia the agricultural industry employs about 50 thousand workers in various trades performing diverse tasks, for example, working at forestry tasks with tractor equipment and in outdoor conditions with hand-held power tools, as well as office work and working with timber transport. The aim of the study is to improve the competence of labour protection specialists in the context of cognitive ergonomics risk assessment in order to reduce the impact of psycho-emotional risks on the health of forest management workers. The following methods were use in the research: work environment risk assessment, burnout syndrome test, and the method for determining the working capacity index, Charles D. Spielberger’s survey, and a well-being survey. The highest risk factors for forestry workers in their daily employment are working in a forced position and in different weather conditions, which can affect employees psychologically. The largest number of employees with signs of fatigue is found in the age groups of 40-49 and 50-59 years. The study identified the need to increase the competence of labour protection specialists by improving the master program to ensure the necessary raising of awareness in the context of cognitive ergonomics.

Full text
Abstract:
Modern slavery involves the recruitment, movement, harbouring or receiving of people through any means for the purpose of exploitation. It is an extensive problem and one that causes immense human suffering. International Labour Organization figures suggest that there are 24 million victims of modern slavery or forced labour around the world at any one time, with a substantial proportion of these working on project-related activities. Modern slavery causes reputational risk to organisations from the perspective of customers and investors. In the UK, it is now subject to specific legislation. The damage and costs of legal action and compensation to victims of modern slavery can be crippling. Projects are particularly susceptible to modern slavery as they have complex flows of materials and labour that need to be constantly reinvented for each unique project context.

Abstract:
This report shares findings from qualitative research on the impacts of Covid-19 on Cambodian migrant workers in four sites along the Cambodia-Thai border. Government restrictions in Thailand and the border closure in February 2020 led to job losses and reduced working hours, and ultimately to an increase in the rate of return migration. Return migrants were forced to use informal points of entry with the facilitation of informal brokers, facing increased costs and risks and, in the process, becoming undocumented. This report shows an unequal access to health services between documented and undocumented migrants. Even in the context of Covid-19, some migrants continue to travel with young children who support the family, mostly through light agricultural work. URI

Abstract:
The Adult Entertainment Sector (AES) is a relatively new and growing sector in Kathmandu, developing rapidly after international aid and trade relations led to the growth of a consumer economy and the development of a consumer culture. The AES employs women and girls in a context where alternative work opportunities are limited. The sector is included by CLARISSA as one of the worst forms of child labour (WFCL) due to the nature of forced labour, slavery, and commercial sexual exploitation of children inside the sector. During the CLARISSA life story analysis, many children from this area emphasised poor family relationships and the majority of children from this settlement are engaged in some sort of child labour. This is a report of the Action Research Group in this location, which covered two themes: (1) lack of awareness and family conflict leading to abuse and exploitation at the workplace, and (2) social norms around voices of children not being important in relation to family matters.

Abstract:
This Emerging Evidence Report describes the availability of evidence on modern slavery interventions in Myanmar presented in the programme's interactive Evidence Map. This report on Myanmar uses the same methodology and complements the evidence map on interventions to tackle trafficking, child and forced labour in South Asia for Nepal, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The Evidence Map provides an outline of where evidence is concentrated and where it is missing by mapping out existing and ongoing impact evaluations and observational studies exploring different types of modern slavery interventions and outcomes for specific target populations (survivors, employers, landlords, service providers, criminal justice officials) and at different levels (individual, community, state). It also identifies key ‘gaps’ in evidence. Both the Evidence Map and this report foremost target the UK Foreign, Commonwealth &amp; Development Office (FCDO) and its partners in the CLARISSA research programme to support evidence-informed policymaking on innovations to reduce the worst forms of child labour. We hope that it is also useful to academics and practitioners working to address modern slavery, or in the intervention areas and locations described.

Full text
Abstract:
Cocoa production has a long history in Ghana, originating in the late nineteenth century. Since then, cocoa production has seen significant changes. Originally, cocoa was cultivated in newly cleared forests in which many forest trees were preserved as shade trees. Cocoa is ideally suited to these conditions and produces high yields with minimum investment in labour and inputs. However, over time, as the forest conditions change, the cost of cultivating cocoa has increased and yields have declined. As long as new forest frontiers exist, farmers have continued to move into these areas, which have displaced older areas of cultivation, since the costs of production are significantly lower in the new frontiers. In recent years, however, new forest frontiers have declined and most cocoa farmers have been forced to rehabilitate and replant cocoa in open land. This study examines the rational of frontier development; changes in land relations, labour relations and use of technology; and the impact of these factors on different categories of farmers, including women and youth. This is developed through two comparative case studies drawn from the older cocoa frontier of the Eastern Region, and the more recent frontier of Western North Region.

Full text
Abstract:
Women migrant domestic workers (WMDWs) constitute 7.7 percent of migrant workers worldwide, of whom more than a quarter live and work in the Arab region. In Lebanon, as in other Arab countries, WMDWs are recruited through the sponsorship system, Kafala. Under this system, a potential migrant worker can only obtain legal residency and a work permit in the country of destination if she is sponsored by a specific employer. Once in the destination country, the worker cannot transfer to a new employer unless granted permission by the original sponsor. The system heightens the social, economic, and legal vulnerability of WMDWs and has been described as unfree or bound labor and a system of racialized servitude. Yet, Kafala is not a written policy but rather a collection of administrative procedures, customary practices, and socially acceptable norms that are maintained by various players throughout the migration process. The question then arises as to whether advocacy efforts that focus on abolishing Kafala as a legal term would mitigate employers’ exploitative practices that violate the workers’ rights and freedoms, particularly in a country like Lebanon. This policy brief is based on a study carried out under the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Work in Freedom project designed to mitigate the exploitation and forced labor of women migrating from South to West Asia to work in the domestic and garment sectors. This brief explores knowledge, awareness and attitudes to Kafala by employers in Lebanon.
