He forced labor V economy the private sector is expanding globally and traffickers profits have increased in recent years illegal what do they get from this crime, which is 10 thousand dollars per victim, although this figure reaches over 27 thousand dollars per case sexual exploitation commercial.
These figures were established as a result of an investigation conducted by experts from International Labor Organization (ILO) and whose results were published on Tuesday in Geneva.
Globally and across all sectors of the private economy, forced labor generates annual benefits of US$236 billion, or US$64 billion per year. 37% more than ten years ago.
The growth of these illegal incomes is explained by the increasing number of people forced to work and accept conditions that, often without knowing it, lead them to human trafficking and criminal networks who keep the wages that are rightfully theirs.
In the case of employees migrants, Drug dealers take money directly from Money transfers which they send to their families in their countries of origin.
The higher payouts also come as they have increased per victim, from $8,269 in 2014 (adjusted for inflation) to $10,000 today.
sexual exploitation accounts for two thirds (73%) all these benefits, despite the fact that the victims make up 27% of the total.
This is due to the huge difference in benefits that organized crime receives from a victim of commercial sexual exploitation, which exceed 27 thousand dollars, compared to the nearly $3,700 they receive from other forms of private labor exploitation.
