Labour exploitation

Labour exploitation refers to situations where workers are treated unfairly or unjustly in their employment. This can include practices such as paying very low wages, enforcing long hours without proper breaks, not providing safe working conditions, or denying workers their legal rights. Exploited workers often lack the power or resources to advocate for better treatment because they may fear losing their jobs or face other repercussions. Labour exploitation can occur in various industries and often disproportionately affects vulnerable groups, including migrants and those in lower-skilled positions. Addressing this issue is essential for promoting fair and ethical work environments.
