“…The literature widely points out that the vulnerable position of women in society is a powerful push factor of human trafficking outflows (Bettio & Nandi, 2010;Clawson & Layne, 2007;Danailova-Trainor & Belser, 2006;Di Tommaso, Shima, Strøm, & Bettio, 2009). Human trafficking is apparently gender-based violence, the majority of victims being females exploited in the sex industry (UNODC, 2006;IOM, 2012).…”

This study aims to identify robust push and pull factors of human trafficking. I test for the robustness of 70 push and 63 pull factors suggested in the literature. In doing so, I employ an extreme bound analysis, running more than two million regressions with all possible combinations of variables for up to 153 countries during the period of 1995-2010. My results show that crime prevalence robustly explains human trafficking both in destination and origin countries. Income level also has a robust impact, suggesting that the cause of human trafficking shares that of economic migration. Law enforcement matters more in origin countries than destination countries. Interestingly, a very low level of gender equality may have constraining effects on human trafficking outflow, possibly because gender discrimination limits female mobility that is necessary for the occurrence of human trafficking.

“…International human trafficking of women for commercial sexual exploitation (henceforth trafficking) has been identified as a form of modern-day slavery and it is a worldwide problem which has grown rapidly in the last decades (Bettio and Nandi 2010;Hodge and Leitz 2007). Up to four million people are estimated to be exploited by human traffickers each year (UNHCR 2006).…”

International trafficking in humans for sexual exploitation is an economic activity driven by profit motives, and up to four million people are estimated to be exploited by human traffickers each year. Laws regarding commercial sex influence the profitability of trafficking and may thus affect the inflow of trafficking to a country. Using two recent sources of European cross country data we show that trafficking of persons for commercial sexual exploitation (as proxied by the data sets we are using) is least prevalent in countries where prostitution is illegal, most prevalent in countries where prostitution is legalized, and in between in those countries where prostitution is legal but procuring illegal. Case studies of two countries (Norway and Sweden) that have criminalized buying sex support the possibility of a causal link from harsher prostitution laws to reduced trafficking. Although the data do not allow us to infer robust causal inference, the results suggest that criminalizing procuring, or going further and criminalizing buying and/or selling sex, may reduce the amount of trafficking to a country.

“…Estas relaciones violentas y con deficiencia en el plano afectivo se convierten en un factor de vulnerabilidad que favorece la vinculación de estos niños, niñas y adolescentes a prácticas de explotación sexual comercial AGO.USB Medellín-Colombia V. 15 No 1 PP. 1-323 Enero -Junio 2015 ISSN: 1657-8031 (Bettio & Nandi, 2010). La interacción con familiares vinculados con prácticas de prostitución es considerada como un factor de vulnerabilidad hacia la situación de explotación sexual, debido a que la resistencia de los menores a vincularse a dichas prácticas puede verse disminuida al percibirlas como un estilo de vida (Camacho & Trujillo, 2009).…”
