Title: Looking for a Hidden Population: Trafficking of Migrant Laborers in San Diego County Summary: Although labor trafficking has received much attention in recent years, there is limited empirical research into the depth, breadth, and scope of the problem. The scarcity of reliable estimates on labor trafficking activities has long caught the attention of major international organizations and government agencies. Both policy makers and advocacy groups recognize that anti-trafficking campaigns cannot gain much credibility without the support of empirical evidence, and more importantly, reliable statistical estimates. However, empirical research on labor trafficking is no easy undertaking. It is expensive and faces major methodological challenges. Taking advantage of recent advances in sampling methodology as well as unique access to unauthorized migrant workers in San Diego County through a partnership with a community organization, this study attempts to answer some of the basic questions confronting current anti-trafficking discourse. The overarching goal of collecting empirical data that can produce valid estimates on the scope of labor trafficking activities was divided into the following two objectives: 1. To provide statistically sound estimates of the prevalence of trafficking victimization among unauthorized migrant laborers in San Diego. 2. To investigate the types of trafficking victimization experienced by these laborers. Details: San Deigo, CA: San Diego State University, 2012. 155p.
