Abstract

Labour migration, other than being a key driver of economic growth and development, is also associated with inconsistent human rights practices. This paper furthers the understanding of links between migration and human trafficking in Andhra Pradesh, India. It applies IOM’s Determinants of Vulnerability Framework to assess and analyse the various ways in which vulnerabilities of the migrant unorganised and casual labourers are constructed as they are forced to migrate for livelihood security. The study employed a mixed-methods approach which included a survey of 5888 individuals, seven case studies, five focus group discussions and 121 key informant interviews. The paper confirms that migration, by itself, does not lead to trafficking. A number of intersecting, inter-related factors at individual, household, community, and structural levels add to risks or provide protection against trafficking to a migrant before, during or after the process of migration. Relatedly, the paper argues that the process of migration is a continuum between vulnerability, unsafe migration, and trafficking.
印度安得拉邦的劳动力迁移与人口贩运:移民脆弱性的决定因素 "视角
劳动力迁移不仅是经济增长和发展的主要推动力,也与不一致的人权做法有关。本文进一步阐述了印度安得拉邦移民与人口贩运之间的联系。它运用了国际移民组织的 "脆弱性决定因素框架",评估并分析了无组织移民和临时工在为生计保障而被迫移民的过程中形成脆弱性的各种方式。研究采用了混合方法,包括对 5888 人的调查、七项案例研究、五次焦点小组讨论和 121 次关键信息提供者访谈。本文证实,移徙本身并不会导致人口贩运。在移民过程之前、期间或之后,个人、家庭、社区和结构层面上的一些相互交织、相互关联的因素会增加移民被贩运的风险或提供保护。与此相关,本文认为,移徙过程是脆弱、不安全移徙和贩运之间的一个连续过程。
