摘要:The International Organization for Migration has collected data on trafficked individuals. The
aim of this paper is to use the sub-sample of sexually exploited women in order to explore the
relationship between their well being deprivation, their personal characteristics, and their working
locations. We use the theoretical framework of the capability approach to conceptualize well being
deprivation and we estimate a MIMIC (Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes) model. The utilized
indicators measure abuse, freedom of movement, and access to medical care. This model also allows
us to estimate the effects of some covariates on this measure of well being.
