Focus on Labour Exploitation (FLEX) is a research and policy organisation with a vision of a world free from all forms of labour exploitation. FLEX’s research team focuses on identifying and understanding the systems and structures that can drive labour exploitation. Our research concentrates predominately on risks of exploitation caused by the design of migration routes and in historically “low-paid” sectors (e.g. agriculture, care work, fishing, hospitality) and how these interact with labour market enforcement systems. The research team is interested in exploring a placement with a student, to develop a small research project. This would most likely be desk-based research, for example, writing a research or policy briefing focused on one aspect of the above-mentioned sectors (e.g. international comparison on grievance mechanisms in agriculture, recruitment routes into the fishing sector or care work sectors). There may also be options for qualitative research depending on length of the placement.
This is an ongoing opportunity with no set application deadline.
