![]() The top 15 products were then chosen from this list to produce an initial list of product/source country combinations at risk of modern slavery (see Table 1). A simple country count of products was performed to determine a ranking: the product with the highest number of countries listed against it was ranked first, the product with the second highest numbers of countries against it was ranked second, and so on. ![]() 2 The list was first filtered by “forced labour” to ensure that products suspected of being produced only by child labour were excluded. Our starting point was the 2016 US Department of Labor list of goods produced by forced labour and child labour. ![]() Identifying a list of products at risk of modern slavery Initial list The bibliography of the research on products with risk of modern slavery is included in this appendix. ![]() We then compiled import data for all G20 countries targeting the products and source countries that were identified to be at risk of modern slavery. 1Īccordingly, as a first step we developed a list of products at risk of modern slavery. Our focus is the G20 countries as they rank among the largest importers (and exporters) in the world, accounting for three-quarters of global trade and taking 80 percent of developing country exports. This project aims to provide a high-level indication of how the world’s most developed countries are connected to modern slavery not only through exploitation occurring within their own borders but also through the goods they import.
