- Summary
- The objective of the present work is to study the phenomena of labour exploitation and forced labour to which immigrants and, in particular, victims of human trafficking, are subjected in Portugal. It also sheds light on the treatment of Portuguese emigrants in select destination countries. This work is the result of an initative of the International Labour Office (ILO) through its Special Action Programme to Combat Forced Labour (SAP-FL), in collaboration with the Direcção-General de Estudos, Estatística e Planeamento (General Directorate of Studies, Statistics and Planning (DGEEP)) of the Ministério do Trabalho e da Solidariedade Social (Ministry of Labour and Social Solidarity (MTSS)). The field research was carried out between September 2005 and May 2006.
