Lesson-110810-15

To address the gap in forced labor research methodologies (both qualitative and quantitative) with a sector focus, the project decided to document research methodologies and findings in two different ways. First, the project plans to develop a set of white papers that are short, non-technical descriptions oriented to mid-level managers who do not have research training so they can use the information in their decision-making processes. The white papers will address topics like the rapid sector appraisal for the garment sector, the garment sector value chain analysis, trauma informed research, sampling, and awareness of forced labor prevalence. The second is extensive technical documentation of the development of the forced labor prevalence survey methodology and questionnaire. The documentation is intended to provide other researchers a clear and concise roadmap on the steps the project took to develop the methodology and questionnaire as well as the data analysis techniques.
