Human Trafficking Indicators, 2000-2011: A New Dataset

This manuscript presents the Human Trafficking Indicators (HTI), a new dataset on human trafficking patterns and government anti-trafficking efforts in 179 countries from 2000 to 2011. This is the first dataset to broadly capture different trafficking types and disaggregated measures of government responses. These data enable the cross-national study of seven types of trafficking including forced prostitution, labor, domestic servitude, and debt bondage. The HTI also includes measures of a government's law enforcement efforts, protective services, and prevention efforts. This paper presents an overview of the dataset, some initial trends, and implications for trafficking research.

本文介绍了人口贩运指标（Human Trafficking Indicators, HTI）数据集，这是一套覆盖2000年至2011年间179个国家的人口贩运模式与政府反贩运举措的全新数据集。本数据集为全球首个全面覆盖各类人口贩运类型，并对政府应对举措进行细分量化的数据集。依托该数据集，可开展涵盖强迫卖淫、强迫劳动、家庭奴役与债役等7类人口贩运的跨国研究。人口贩运指标数据集同时纳入了政府执法行动、受害者保护服务与预防宣传工作的相关量化指标。本文对该数据集进行了整体概述，展示了部分初步研究趋势，并探讨了其在人口贩运研究领域的应用启示。
