There is growing awareness of the problem of forced labour and other forms of exploitation that have been collectively described as 'modern slavery'. In 2011, an ICR research report Forced Labour in Northern Ireland found limited cases distributed across a wide range of employment sectors. This report updates the evidence on forced labour in Northern Ireland.
The research: finds evidence of exploitation in more employment sectors than the 2011 report identified, suggesting the number of people affected by forced labour in Northern Ireland is growing; identifies what progress has been made in tackling forced labour since 2011 and what challenges remain; makes a number of recommendations to government, including specific changes to policies and approaches.
