Labour exploitation is a highly topical though complex issue that
has international resonance for those concerned with social justice
and social welfare, but there is a lack of research available about
it. This book, part of the Studies in Social Harm series, is the
first to look at labour exploitation from a social harm
perspective, arguing that, as a global social problem, it should be
located within the broader study of work-based harm. Written by an
expert in policy orientated research, he critiques existing
approaches to the study of workplace exploitation, abuse and forced
labour. Mapping out a new sub-discipline, this innovative book aims
to shift power from employers to workers to reduce levels of labour
exploitation and work-based harm. It is relevant to academics from
many fields as well as legislators, policy makers, politicians,
employers, union officials, activists and consumers.
