| dc.description.abstract | The report is divided into two parts. PART 1,
Understanding child labour, forced labour and
human trafficking in global supply chains,
presents empirical evidence on the prevalence of and
risk factors related to child labour, forced labour and
human trafficking linked to global supply chains. In
particular, it looks at how, in the absence of strong
law enforcement, the socio-economic vulnerability
of individuals and workers, along with economic and
commercial pressures facing suppliers within global
supply chains, can in combination lead to abuses.
PART 2, Responding to child labour, forced
labour and human trafficking in global supply
chains, provides two policy perspectives. On the one
hand, it provides a comprehensive overview of the
State’s duty to regulate and implement legal frameworks to protect workers and mitigate the vulnerability
to abuse, and to provide access to remedies with good
practices and policy tools; and, on the other hand, it
presents the necessary smart policy mix to facilitate
and incentivize responsible business conduct in global
supply chains. | en_US |
