This report describes research on the connections between labor brokers and forced labor among various populations of workers in three regions of India:
• Indian workers (child and juvenile) migrating into domestic apparel production in Tirupur;
• Indian workers (child and adult) migrating into garment production in the National Capital Region (NCR); and
• Indian adult workers migrating to the Middle East for work primarily in manufacturing, infrastructure, and construction.
The multifaceted roles played by brokers in each region; the means by which brokers create vulnerabilities to forced labor; and the underlying social, economic and legal factors that contribute to the continuance of the system were examined in each locale.
