Short description:
This contribution represents ILO perspective and experience in combating exploitation of migrant workers by organized crime in its broader labour migration and regulatory context. It outlines labour migration demand and push factors, describes incentives for trafficking arising from absence of regular migration channe ls, offers specific examples of migrant abuse, and presents proposals for comprehensive migration measures to combat trafficking and reduce underlying pressures. This analysis is presented as background perspective for th e participants at this regional ILO Forum on labour migration in Southern Africa. It is an edited version of an ILO paper prepared for the International Symposium on th e UN Convention against Transnational Crime, organized by UNICRI in Turin, Italy in February 2002.
