Forced to work: Labour exploitation in the Western Balkans

A Talk by Livia Wagner , Vanja Petrovic , Alketa Lamani , Sasa Djordjevic and Snezana Trajanovska

About this Talk

In this webinar, we will discuss the key findings of an upcoming report that examines the prevalence of labour exploitation in the Western Balkans and how the situation manifests itself for both local and foreign workers.

The study identifies the most vulnerable sectors and the groups most affected, while also highlighting gender differences in worker treatment. The report discusses the risks and provides concrete examples of the main forms of labour exploitation. It also looks at how institutions, civil society, and the media are addressing the problem and provides recommendations for tackling it.
