Factors affecting forced labour rates
Economic:
• Poverty- People in poverty are easier to exploit (e.g. Qatar)
• Lack of jobs- People have few other job options so more likely to accept lower paid jobs
• Low wages- Cannot afford to leave job as they cannot build savings up
• Subsistence farming- If crops fail then they don’t have the resources to survive, so will take most available job opportunities
Political:
• Political instability- Poor law enforcement
