- Summary
- The global estimate's methodology is experimental and there are, doubtless, many ways to improve it. With the present document, the ILO makes the calculations transparent in the hope of stimulating an intellectual debate on the most appropriate way to estimate hidden problems such as forced labour for which little or no reliable data is available at the country level. But ultimately, we hope that these estimates will serve the purpose of attracting public attention to the continued existence of forced labour in the world and drawing support for its elimination.
