| Popis: |
The mobile labour force is benefiting host societies with diverse forms of human capital. The economic value and potential of people migrating for work offer incentives for the development of illicit and abusive practices that take advantage of the vulnerability of the migrants and the lack of institutional attention and experience. This may happen regardless of the skill level of the migrants, but especially those migrants who are new, inexperienced and low skilled may be targeted by actors who wish to exploit their lack of knowledge. These mechanisms may start as early as during recruitment in the home country by transnational criminal networks, but they also emerge organically in the host country if activity-scapes are available for such practices. This new phenomenon of human trafficking, slavery and abuse related to work has entered Finland during recent decades. The actors involved are often of foreign origin or within ethnic enclaves, which creates cultural and language-related divides at an institutional level as well. We found that a host country context that is highly developed may not have the institutional experience, understanding or attention required to combat the phenomenon effectively. We suggest that preventive governance with more targeted collaboration across governance, diaspora organisations and civil society could reduce illicit opportunities and increase awareness of what is appropriate and acceptable, i.e. decent work. |
