Pull Factors
Amidst poverty and limited prospects, many individuals
are willing to take risks in order to
seize opportunities abroad. Popular notions of ‘The West’ conjure glamour and
opportunity, while promises of steady employment, better living conditions, and access to
5
hard currency seem to offer a way out of endless
hardship. Interestingly, the perceived
importance of adventure and
fulfillment
as a pull factor appears related to the level of
economic conditions in the country of origin;
while
poverty has increased in
Ethiopia
, there
is a steady demand from
Middle
East
for cheap unskilled
labor
in the informal economy.
This creates preconditions for trafficking, since migrants are dependent on illegal
middlemen to buy passports and for transportation. While this paragraph mainly relates to
trafficking in human beings
for forced
labor
, servitude and slavery, the demand in the
destination countries for women and children for the purpose of sexual exploitation is one
of the most important root causes of trafficking in human beings. If the demand is reduced,
less women and
children will become victims
