It also contains indicators of forced labour such as dependence on employer for accommodation, reports of threats and physical violence. The project also analysed a database relating to domestic labour. The geographical focus in the smaller‐scale datasets was two local areas: Birmingham and the West Midlands, and parts of the East of England and East Midlands. The indicators of vulnerable employment chosen for this study were: pay, hours, insecurity and accommodation. This research sought to fill this knowledge gap. While there are many media accounts of migrant vulnerability in the labour market, and some analyses accounting for it, there have been limited attempts to quantify this vulnerability.
#The used vulnerable registration
The aim of this research, undertaken by COMPAS for the TUC Commission on Vulnerable Employment, was to investigate the extent of and conditions relating to vulnerable employment for migrant workers by comparing data from smaller‐scale regional/local datasets with data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and the Workers’ Registration Scheme (WRS).
