Exploring determinants of different forms of human trafficking and migrant labour exploitation to inform prevention interventions. (specification by c

目的：采用公共卫生方法，了解增加移徙者遭受剥削风险或保护他们免遭剥削的因素，并促进安全移徙举措。目标草案：（在确认了国家和目标人口后增加了更具体的内容）。确定个人、家庭和社区在移民的各个阶段（考虑、准备、过境和到达）遭受剥削的风险因素，包括劳动剥削；确定移徙战略和潜在的保护因素，为更安全的劳动力移徙干预措施提供信息；评估移民在移民的各个阶段如何寻求和重视信息；评估移徙者在移徙的各个阶段使用信息和通信技术（ICT）寻求信息和/或降低风险的方式；考虑适应和使用理论方法来指导预防剥削的干预措施；描述研究方法和数据收集工具（可能是信息通信技术）的优缺点，以评估迁移周期中的风险和保护因素。在目前的范围界定阶段（2017年10月至11月），正在确定与自由基金热点项目高度相关的潜在地理和专题领域是：ESRC lshtmj - s奖学金项目：缅甸注册2奖学金团队的信息请求：强迫移民和罗兴亚人口贩卖新娘的增加。黎巴嫩：居住在黎巴嫩的叙利亚和巴勒斯坦难民中的童工现象。泰国：国内和国际劳工向泰国渔业的迁移，包括成功的迁移旅程和各种剥削结果，以评估风险和保护因素。埃塞俄比亚：中东和海湾国家青年妇女寻求家政服务就业的信息寻求行为；她们如何找到工作、如何获得旅行证件、过境物流等。印度：从事纺织行业工作的妇女和青年面临的国内移民风险。建议的方法方法：我的研究的第一阶段将包括专家咨询，自由基金热点绘图和系统地审查选定的自由基金热点中关于移民和劳动力剥削的文献（总结任何确定风险因素的文献，绘制奴隶制预防和应对干预措施，确定干预评估等）[目前正在进行并计划于2017年11月底结束]。本研究的实证数据收集部分将采用混合方法。我将对多个目标人群（未来移民、农民工、相关行业劳动力、移民家庭等）进行定性深入访谈（和/或焦点小组讨论）。我还将选择另外两种方法：a)在与自由基金合作选定的一个或多个地点收集返回者移徙工人的定量数据；多阶段“纵向”研究，跟踪一群移民从出发前到目的地和可能的返回。作为ESRC奖学金获得者的考虑：承担经济和社会研究委员会（ESRC）和自由基金共同资助的博士研究将直接塑造我作为一名社会科学家、学者和公共卫生专家的职业生涯，我已经在这个领域投入了大量资金。社会经济研究中心旨在促进和支持高质量的社会和经济问题研究和相关的研究生培训。剥削移徙劳工的全球现象现在和将来都需要跨学科和混合方法。我相信，这一培训将使我有能力开展与一系列受益者接触的研究，并产生证据，为与移民、安全和健康有关的干预措施和政策提供依据。

Aim: To apply a public health approach to understand factors that increase migrants' risk of or protect them from exploitation and promote safe migration initiatives. Draft objectives: (more specificity added when country and target population are confirmed).Identify individual, household and community level risk factors for exploitation at the various stages of migration (contemplation, preparation, transit and arrival), including labour exploitation; Identify migration strategies and potential protective factors to inform safer labour migration interventions; Assess how migrants seek and value information at the various stages of migration; Assess the ways migrants use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) at the various stages of migration to seek information and/or mitigate risk; Consider theoretical approaches for adaptation and use to guide interventions to prevent exploitation; Describe strengths and weaknesses of research methodologies and data collection tools (potentially ICT) to assess risk and protective factors in the migration cycle. Potential geographical and thematic areas being identified during the current scoping phase (October-November 2017) highly relevant to Freedom Fund hotspot programming, are:ESRC Studentships at LSHTMJe-S Information Requestfrom the Scholarships Team in Registry2Myanmar: Forced migration and increased bride trafficking of the Rohingya population.Lebanon: Child labour amongst Syrian and Palestinian refugees residing in Lebanon.Thailand: Domestic and international labour migration to the Thai fishing industry, both successful migration journeys and the various exploitative outcomes to assess risk and protective factors.Ethiopia: The information seeking behaviors of young women seeking employment in the Middle East and Gulf States as domestic help; how they identified employment, how they secured travel documents, transit logistics, etc.India: Internal migration risks for women and youth migrating for textile industry work.Proposed methodological approaches:The first stages of my research will consist of expert consultations, Freedom Fund hotspot mapping and systematically reviewing the literature on migration and labour exploitation in the selected Freedom Fund hotspot (summarising any literature identifying risk factors, mapping slavery prevention and response interventions, identifying intervention evaluations, etc.) [currently taking place and scheduled to conclude by end of November 2017]. The empirical data collection component of this research will employ a mixed method approach. I will conduct qualitative in-depth interviews (and/or focus group discussions) with multiple target populations (prospective migrants, migrant workers, relevant industry workforces, families of migrants, etc.). I will also choose between two additional methodological approaches:a) quantitative data collection among returnee migrant workers at a site or sites selected in collaboration with the Freedom Fund; orb) multi-phased 'longitudinal' research to follow a cohort of migrants from pre-departure to destination and possible return.Considerations as an ESRC scholarship awardee:Undertaking an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and Freedom Fund Cofunded doctoral study will directly shape my career as a social scientist, scholar and public health specialist in a field in which I have come to be deeply invested. The ESRC aims to promote and support high-quality research and related postgraduate training on social and economic issues. The global phenomena of migrant labour exploitation is both and will require an interdisciplinary and mixed-methods approach. I am confident that this training will equip me to conduct research that engages with a range of beneficiaries and producesevidence that will feed into interventions and policies related to migration, safety and health.
