Tiivistelmä
Human trafficking is the illegal trade of human beings for exploitation and forced labour. Poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, urbanization and weak legislation are the major causes of it. The frequency of human trafficking is rising due to the rise in unemployment.
This thesis has aimed to study the impacts of unemployment in an economy. A major impact of unem-ployment is human trafficking; therefore, this thesis has highlighted the conditions of its victims, found out the current situation of global unemployment and human trafficking. This thesis has ex-plained the causes of unemployment in an economy, factors of human trafficking, presented data of human trafficking and measures to control human trafficking.
The objective of this thesis was to study the knowledge of human trafficking among business man-agement students of Centria University of Applied Sciences, Kokkola. This thesis has studied the lev-el of knowledge about human trafficking and it has helped to find out students’ perception towards human trafficking.
32% of the respondents believed that human trafficking is fairly widespread in Finland and the same percentage of respondents believed that it is not widespread. 12% of the respondents believed that human trafficking does not occur in Finland and 24% of the respondent do not know anything about it. It was found that 96% of the respondents haven’t experienced any forms of human trafficking in their life followed by 4% of respondents who may have experienced it in some form. It was seen that 64% of the respondents have worked under extreme pressure because of insufficient time given, also 36% of the respondents have been forced to work for long hours. It was a good sign that the salary of all respondents was paid on time and 64% of the respondents were also paid extra for accomplishing work in an exceptional work situation.
It was found that business management students of Centria UAS had some basic knowledge about human trafficking and some of the students have faced signs of human trafficking in Finland. Therefore, the author recommended further research on a large scale to identify human trafficking victims and solve their problems.
