Abstract
Globalisation has narrowed the gap between producers and consumers, with complex global supply chain networks forming the basis of many of the products we consume today. Modern slavery risk is known to be an ‘invisible’ problem, as modern slavery impacts are embodied in products consumed in geographically distant regions. In this viewpoint, we highlight that modern slavery and disease risk interactions have not been explored in global supply chains. We explore the value of multi-region input-output (MRIO) analysis in exploring the effects of consumption activities on modern slavery and disease risk. Using the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a region where modern slavery and disease risks are known, as a case study, we explore the potential for an integrated framework based on MRIO analysis to identify modern slavery-disease risk hotspots in supply chains. We discuss the significance of this framework in global policy setting and explore avenues for future research.
