This paper describes a promising new effort to fight global labour exploitation using financing strategies to advance and expand the global trend toward fair labour practices. It focuses on private market investment innovations and opportunities, where investors interested in improving global labour conditions while achieving positive financial results are most likely to meet their objectives.
The authors also uncovered some finance mechanisms that have been creatively engineered by a combination of business and human rights, social finance, and data experts.

All expressed genuine enthusiasm for the progress to date and encouraged more.
