Forced labour and risk factors for inferior working conditions in Thai fishing sector Arimoto, Yutaka 57034 Machikita, Tomohiro 57035 Tsubota, Kenmei 57036 JEL:J47 - Coercive Labor Markets JEL:J81 - Working Conditions JEL:K42 - Illegal Behavior and the Enforcement of Law Human trafficking Forced labour Working conditions Thailand Work environment Fisheries Labor conditions application/pdf IDP000685_001 Severe working conditions on Thai fishing boats have received international attention as the so-called modern slavery, at least, since 2005. Using a survey in 2012 of fishermen on fishing boats in four provinces of Thailand conducted by the International Labour Organization, this paper examines the ranges of unacceptable working conditions by extending the measurement of forced labour. This paper makes two main contributions by identifying the degree of forced labour and measuring their working conditions. First, we conceptualise two situations, forced labour and possibly forced labour, with different combinations of available variables, which is an attempt to capture the multidimentional complexity in measuring forced labour. Second, we analysed the associated working conditions among the workers. We confirmed that fishing boats are places of forced labour and destinations of trafficked persons, and that the working conditions of forced and possibly forced workers are inferior to those of other workers. technical report Institute of Developing Economies　(IDE-JETRO) 2018-01 VoR application/pdf IDE Discussion Paper 685 IDE Discussion Paper https://ir.ide.go.jp/record/50109/files/IDP000685_001.pdf https://doi.org/10.20561/00050099 http://hdl.handle.net/2344/00050099 https://ir.ide.go.jp/records/50109 eng Thailand Copyrights 日本貿易振興機構（ジェトロ）アジア経済研究所 / Institute of Developing Economies, Japan External Trade Organization (IDE-JETRO) http://www.ide.go.jp
