1 Committee: Officer(s): Council on Economic Advancement Rutul Tijoriwala, Sahib Singh Algeria Of a population of about 5,000 to 9,000 illegal migrants in the country, some 4,000 to 6,000 are believed to be victims of human trafficking. It is often used asa a transit country between sub- Saharan Africa and Europe. Algeria has solidified its stance against drugs, seizing nearly 78 tonnes of cannabis in 2013, mostly from neighboring morocco. In Algeria, the richest 20% of the population have 6.1 times as much wealth as the lower 20%. This is lower than the international average of 7.9, hsowing Algeria to be in a good place in trms of its internal economic inequity. With the 33rd largest population in the world, Algeria's GDP may be smaller than what it should be. GDP: $207.8 Billion, GDP Growth rate: 2.5%, GDP Per Capita: $7,600, GDP Composition: 30.2%, 27%, Investment in Fixed Capital 31.5%, Investment in Inventories 3.5%, Exports of Goods and Services: 36.5%, Imports of Goods and Services -28.6% Imports: capital goods, foodstuffs, consumer goods; Exports: petroleum, natural gas, and petroleum products 97%; Trade : US 16.1%, Spain 13.9%, Canada 10.4%, Netherlands 8.4%, France 8%, Brazil 5.6%, UK 5.1% gas, iron ore, phosphates, uranium, lead, zinc rate: 10.2% (2012 est.); Population Below Poverty Line: 23% gas, light industries, mining, electrical, petrochemical, food processing; Industrial Production Growth Rate: 1.5% Organization/Market Type: Republic; Economic Market: Algeria's economy remains dominated by the state, a legacy of the country's socialist postindependence development model. In recent years the Algerian has halted the privatization of state-owned industries and imposed restrictions on imports and foreign involvement in its economy Angola Argentina Angola has a huge market for people being trafficked internally. Woman and children are often sold and bought for purposes of domestic servitude, whereas men are used for forced agricultural labor. Angola is not a high consumer for drugs, but it is used as a transit country for drug traffickers in Africa. About 35,000 women and children in Argentina are acting as slaves, and are used for sexual abuse or forced labor. Many Argentine women are trafficked to neighboring countries in South America and western Europe. Argentina is both a transit country and a production coutnry in the drug trade, and it is currently deciding whether it should or should not decriminalize drugs. Angola is widely considered one of the countires that is the most unequal in terms of internal economics. The wealthy class takes a much larger share of the wealth than do the poorer class, and to a deleterious extent. In terms of the world, Angola has the 59th largest population in the world, which is reasonable for its GDP. The ratio of wealth controlled by the rich in argentina to that of the poor there is This is over double the world average of 7.9. Therefore internal economic inequity is a huge problem for the country. Argentina has the 32nd largest population in the world, and taking that into consideration, its GDP is definitely in a good place. GDP: $118.7 Billion; GDP : 8.4%; consumption: 48% government consumption: 19.8% investment in fixed capital: 11.4% investment in inventories: 0% exports of goods and services: 64.2% imports of goods and services: -43.4% GDP: $475 billion, GDP : 1.9%, GDP Per Capita: $18,400, GDP by : household consumption: 57.1%, government consumption: 16.6%, investment in fixed capital: 21.8%, investment in inventories: 2.2%, exports of goods and services: 19.7%, imports of goods and services: China 20.8%, Portugal 19.5%, US 7.7%, South Africa 7.1%, Brazil 5.9%; Imports: machinery and electrical vehicles and spare parts; medicines, food, textiles, military goods; Export : China 45.8%, US 13.7%, India 11%, South Africa 4.1%; Exports: crude oil, diamonds, refined petroleum products, coffee, sisal, fish and fish products, timber, cotton Imports: machinery, motor vehicles, petroleum and natural gas, organic chemicals, plastics; Exports: soybeans and derivatives, petroleum and gas, vehicles, corn, wheat; Major Trade : Brazil 26.9%, US 15.4%, China 11.8%, Germany 4.5% petroleum, diamonds, iron ore, phosphates, copper, feldspar, gold, bauxite, uranium fertile plains of the pampas, lead, zinc, tin, copper, iron ore, manganese, petroleum, uranium N/A; Population 40.5% 7.2%; Population 30% Industries: petroleum; diamonds, iron ore, phosphates, feldspar, bauxite, uranium, and gold; cement; basic metal products; fish processing; food processing, brewing, tobacco products, sugar; textiles; ship repair; Industrial : 8% Industries: food processing, motor vehicles, consumer durables, textiles, chemicals and petrochemicals, printing, metallurgy, steel; Industrial Production Growth Rate: -0.4% republic; multiparty presidential regime; Economic Market: Angola's high growth rate in recent years was driven by high international prices for its oil. Angola became a member of OPEC in late 2006 and its current assigned a production quota of 1.65 million barrels a day (bbl/day). Oil production and its supporting activities contribute about 85% of GDP. Republic; Type of Economic Market: Argentina benefits from rich natural resources, a highly literate population, an export-oriented agricultural sector, and a diversified industrial base. Although one of the world's wealthiest countries 100 years ago, Argentina suffered during most of the 20th century from recurring economic crises, persistent fiscal and current account deficits, high inflation, mounting external debt, and capital flight. 1 of 16

2 Armenia Armenia is a source country for many different types of human trafficking. Armenian men and women are often sent into Russia for forced labor, or into the United Arab Emirates(UAE) and turkey for the purpose of comercial sexual exploitation. An anti-drug and drug addiction movement is starting up in Armenia as the number of available chemical drugs grows rapidly. In Armenia the richest 20% of the population have 5.0 times as much wealth as the lower 7.9, proving that Armenia is in a good place in terms of internal inequity. Armenia has a relatively small population, ranked 127th in the world, and its current GDP is suitable for that population. GDP: $10.07 billion, GDP : 7.2%, GDP Per Capita: $5,900, GDP by Composition: : 88.6%, : 10.7%, Investment in Fixed Capital: 30.6%, Investment in Inventory:.9%, Exports of Goods and Services: 21.8%, Imports of Goods and Services: -53.3% Exports: pig iron, unwrought copper, nonferrous metals, diamonds, mineral products, foodstuffs, energy; Imports: natural gas, petroleum, tobacco products, foodstuffs, diamonds; Trade : Russia 24.6%, China 9%, Germany 6.2%, Iran 5.4%, Ukraine 5.4%, Turkey 4.7% small deposits of gold, copper, molybdenum, zinc, bauxite 7%; Population 35.8% Industries: diamondprocessing, metalcutting machine tools, forgingpressing machines, electric motors, tires, knitted wear, hosiery, shoes, silk fabric, chemicals, trucks, instruments, microelectronics, jewelry manufacturing, software development, food processing, brandy, mining; Industrial Production Growth Rate: 8.8% Organization/Market Republic; Type of Economic Market: Armenia has since switched to small-scale agriculture and away from the large agro-industrial complexes of the Soviet era. Since August 2011, Armenia experienced a sharp 15 percent currency depreciation and an increase in the unemployment rate. Armenia's geographic isolation, a narrow export base, and pervasive monopolies in important business sectors have made it particularly vulnerable to the sharp deterioration in the global economy and the economic downturn in Russia. Australia Australia has legalized prostitution in an effort to reduce the nubers of women invovled with human trafficking, and they do have a low number of human slaves at only 3,167. It is also a destination country for many drugs, cocaine in particular. In Australia the richest 20% of the population have 7.0 times as much wealth as the lower 7.9, meaning Australia is in a decent place in terms of internal economy. As Australia is extremely industrialized and modern, it is obvious that is GDP is more than enough to cater to its large population. GDP: $1.542 trillion, GDP : 3.6%, consumption: 54.9%, government consumption: 18.2%, investment in fixed capital: 28.5%, investment in inventories: 0.4%, exports of goods and services: 20.2%, imports of goods and services: -21.3% Imports: machinery and transport computers and office machines, telecommunication equipment and parts; crude oil and petroleum products; Exports: coal, iron ore, gold, meat, wool, alumina, wheat, machinery and transport equipment; Major Trade : China 29.5%, Japan 19.3%, South Korea 8%, India 4.9% : bauxite, coal, iron ore, copper, tin, gold, silver, uranium, nickel, tungsten, rare earth elements, mineral sands, lead, zinc, diamonds, natural gas, petroleum 5.2%; Population N/A Industries: mining, industrial and transportation food processing, chemicals, steel; Industrial Growth Rate: 3.6% federal parliamentary democracy and a Commonwealth realm; Type of Economic Market: The Australian economy has experienced continuous growth and features low unemployment, contained inflation, very low public debt, and a strong and stable financial system. By 2012, Australia had experienced more than 20 years of continued economic growth, averaging 3.5% a year. Austria Austria is a transit and destination coutnry for women and children trafficked from many places in eastern europe and different parts of Africa. The are mainly used for sexual exploitation and forced labor. Austria has very strict Anti-Drug laws, and though it may not be a huge player in the trade itself, it definitely has a strong opinion on the subject. In Austria the richest 20% of the population have 4.4 times as much wealth as the lower 20%. This is lower than the world average of 7.1, proving that Austria is in a good state of internal equality. In terms of the world, Austria is doing great. Its GDP greatly overshoots what would be expected of a country of its size. GDP: $398.6 Billion; GDP : 0.8%; consumption: 54.5%, government consumption: 18.8%. investment in fixed capital: 21.5%, investment in inventories: 1.8%, exports of goods and services: 57.1%, imports of goods and services: -53.7% Germany 42.1%, Italy 6.6%, Switzerland 5.1%; Imports: machinery and motor vehicles, chemicals, metal goods, oil and oil products; foodstuffs; Export : Germany 31.4%, Italy 7%, France 4.7%, Switzerland 4.5%, US 4.4%; Exports: machinery and motor vehicles and parts, paper and paperboard, metal goods, chemicals, iron and steel, textiles, foodstuffs : oil, coal, lignite, timber, iron ore, copper, zinc, antimony, magnesite, tungsten, graphite, salt, hydropower 4.4%; Population 6.2% Industries: construction, machinery, vehicles and parts, food, metals, chemicals, lumber and wood processing, paper and paperboard, communications tourism; Industrial Growth Rate: 1.5% Federal Republic; Economic Market: Austria, with its welldeveloped market economy, skilled labor force, and high standard of living, is closely tied to other EU economies, especially Germany's. Its economy features a large service sector, a sound industrial sector, and a small, but highly developed agricultural sector. 2 of 16

3 Belgium Men and women are trafficked into Belgium from Eastern Europe and Asia, making it a destination coutnry for many. Most are used for either sexual purposes or forced labor in restaurants, bars, sweatshops, and construction sites. In a 2008 survey 14% of Belgians reported having tried marijuana at least once in their lives. Other drugs are much less prevalent in the area. In Belgium the richest 20% of the population have 4.9 times as much wealth as the lower 7.9, showing Belgium to be in a good place in terms of domestic economics. For the small amount of people Belgium holds, its place in the world economy is very significant, as they have the 25th highest GDP of any country in the world. GDP: $484.7 Billion; GDP : -0.2%; GDP Per Capita : : 52.9%, : 24.9%, Investment in Fixed Capital: 20.7%, Investment in Inventories: 0.3%, Exports of Goods and Services: 84.8%, Imports of Goods and Services: -83.6% Netherlands 20.9%, Germany 14.2%, France 10.6%, US 6.1%, UK 5.5%, Ireland 4.4%; Imports: raw materials, chemicals, raw diamonds, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, transportation oil products; Export : Germany 18%, France 16.1%, Netherlands 13%, UK 7.3%, US 5.3%, Italy 4.4%; Exports: chemicals, finished diamonds, metals and metal products, foodstuffs : construction materials, silica sand, carbonates 7.6%; Population 15.2% Industries: engineering and metal products, motor vehicle assembly, transportation scientific instruments, processed food and beverages, chemicals, basic metals, textiles, glass, petroleum; Industrial Growth Rate: -0.8% Organization/Market federal parliamentary democracy under a constitutional monarchy; Type of Economic Market: This modern, open, and private-enterprise-based economy has capitalized on its central geographic location, highly developed transport network, and diversified industrial and commercial base. Industry is concentrated mainly in the more heavily-populated region of Flanders in the north. Brazil There are approximately 210,000 people currently working as slaves as result of the human trafficking trade in Brazil.. Many are trafficked internationally for sexual purposes, and many men and boys are trafficke dinternally for forced labor. Brazil has created an anti-drug task force proving that its stance against drugs is a serious one. In Brazil the richest 20% of the population have 21.8 times as much wealth as the lower 20%. This is almost three times the world average of 7.9, showing that Brazil has huge issues with internal economic inequity. Brazil's astronomical GDP is directly in line with its population, meaning its place in the world economy is suitable and beneficial. GDP: $2.396 trillion; GDP : 0.9%; consumption: 62.3% government consumption: 21.5% investment in fixed capital: 18.1% investment in inventories: -0.5% exports of goods and services: 12.6% imports of goods and services: -14% China 15.4%, US 14.7%, Argentina 7.4%, Germany 6.4%, South Korea 4.1%; Imports: machinery, electrical and transport chemical products, oil, automotive parts, electronics; Export : China 17%, US 11.1%, Argentina 7.4%, Netherlands 6.2%; Exports: transport iron ore, soybeans, footwear, coffee, autos bauxite, gold, iron ore, manganese, nickel, phosphates, platinum, tin, rare earth elements, uranium, petroleum, hydropower, timber 5.5%; Population 21.4% Industries: textiles, shoes, chemicals, cement, lumber, iron ore, tin, steel, aircraft, motor vehicles and parts, other equipment; Industrial : -0.8% Federal Republic; Economic Market: Characterized by large and well-developed agricultural, mining, manufacturing, and service sectors, Brazil's economy outweighs that of all other South American countries, and Brazil is expanding its presence in world markets. 3 of 16

4 Canada Canada is a source, transit, and destination country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor. NGOs report that many times foreigners enter the country under legal means and are later subjected to forced labor or sexual activity. In Canada the richest 20% of the population have 5.5 times as much wealth as the lower 7.9, showing Canada to be in a good place in terms of domestic economics. Despite Canada's relatively low population it is a very large part of the world economy, with the 11th highest GDP of any country. Total Growth rate:1.8% GDP Official exchange rate: $1.819 trillion GDP per capita: $43,400 household consumption: 55.8% government consumption: 21.7% investment in fixed capital: 24% investment in inventories: 0.4% exports of goods and services: 30% imports of goods and services: -32% Imports : US 50.6%, China 11%, Mexico 5.5% Imports: machinery and motor vehicles and parts, crude oil, chemicals, electricity, durable consumer goods Export :US 74.5%, China 4.3%, UK 4.1% Exports: motor vehicles and parts, industrial machinery, aircraft, telecommunications equipment; chemicals, plastics, fertilizers; wood pulp, timber, crude gas, electricity, aluminum Grain, zinc, uranium, gold, nickel, aluminum, lead, timber, petroleum. 7.3% Population below Poverty Line: 9.4% Industries: transportation chemicals, processed and unprocessed minerals, food products, wood and paper products, fish products, petroleum and natural gas Industrial Growth Rate: 1.8% Organization/Market : a parliamentary democracy, a federation, and a constitutional monarchy Economic Market: As a high-tech industrial society in the trillion-dollar class, Canada resembles the US in its market-oriented economic system, pattern of production, and affluent living standards. Chile Within Chile, many victims of Human Trafficking are Chilean women and girls who respond to false job offers and subsequently are subjected to forced prostitution. They are also trafficked for involuntary prostitution and labor exploitation to neighboring countries.chile is currently an important regional center for cocaine processing, and its economy is partially dependent on that. In Chile the richest 20% of the population have 15.7 times as much wealth as the lower 20%. This is much higher than the world average of 7.9, showing Chile to have issues with domestic inequity. On a world scale, Chile's economy is doing well, and its place in the global economy is not of major concern.

5 China There are currently almost 3,000,000 victims of Huan Trafficking in China today, proving that it is a huge concern for them. China has extremely strict anti-drug laws, but this does not stopthe drug trade from prospering in China, as it is an important reginal center for the production and sale of many drugs. In China the richest 20% of the population have 12.2 times as much wealth as the lower 20%. This is much higher than the world average of 7.9, showing China to have issues with domestic inequity. China, of course, has no problem on a world scale as they have one of the strongest economies in the world and are a generally rich country. Total : 7.8% GDP official exchange rate: $8.1 trillion GDP per capita: $9,300 household consumption: 35.7% government consumption: 13.5% investment in fixed capital: 46.1% investment in inventories: 2% exports of goods and services: 26.9% imports of goods and services: -24.1% Japan 9.8%, South Korea 9.2%, US 7.1%, Germany 5.1%, Australia 4.3% Imports: electrical and other machinery, oil and mineral fuels, optical and medical metal ores, motor vehicles Export : US 17.2%, Hong Kong 15.8%, Japan 7.4%, South Korea 4.3% Exports: electrical and other machinery, including data processing apparel, radio telephone handsets, textiles, integrated circuits coal, iron ore, gas, mercury, tin, tungsten, antimony, manganese, molybdenum, vanadium, magnetite, aluminum, lead, zinc, rare earth elements, uranium rate: 6.5% Population below Poverty line: 13.4% world leader in gross value of industrial output; mining and ore processing, iron, steel, aluminum, and other metals, coal; machine building; armaments; textiles and apparel; petroleum; cement; chemicals; fertilizers; consumer products, including footwear, toys, and electronics; food processing; transportation including automobiles, rail cars and locomotives, ships, and aircraft; telecommunications commercial space launch vehicles, satellites Industrial Production growth Rate: 8.1% Organization/Market : Communist. One party System. Economic Market: Command Economy with strong financial institutions. Powerful player in International Trade, especially South America. Colombia Colombia is a major cousrce coutnry for women marketed to Latin America, the Carribean, Western Europe, and North America. Colombia is a huge part of the international drug trade, especially in the production and distrubution of cocaine. Though the cocaine trade is deleterious to the members of the nation, its economy is heavily reliant upon it. In Columbia the richest 20% of the population have 25.3 times as much wealth as the lower 20%. This is much higher than the world average of 7.9, showing Columbia to have issues with domestic inequity. Columbia has some issues with its place in the world economy, and it can defineitely be regarded as one of the poorer countries in the world.

6 Organization/Market Cuba As a communist state, Cuba has not completely opened itself up for free trade with the rest of the world.this means it is not a huge player in many international trades though many women and children are forced into prostitution by their families when in need of money. There is also a huge drug addiction problem in cuba, stemming mainly from the governements tendency to ignore the issue. Cuba's relative equality in terms of its domestic economics is surely a product of its socialistic system. Its place in the world economy is also relatively stable, meaning its GDP is definetely on par with the population it provides sustanance to. Total : 3.1% GDP Official exchange rate: $72.3 billion GDP per Capita:$10,200 household consumption: 53.5% government consumption: 35.4% investment in fixed capital: 9.6% investment in inventories: -2.2% exports of goods and services: 24.6% imports of goods and services: -20.9% Venezuela 36.4%, China 10.5%, Spain 8.7%, Brazil 5.1%, US 4.2% Imports: petroleum, food, chemicals Export : Canada 17.3%, China 16.6%, Venezuela 12.7%, Netherlands 8.8%, Spain 5.8% Exports: petroleum, nickel, medical products, sugar, tobacco, fish, citrus, coffee cobalt, nickel, iron ore, chromium, copper, salt, timber, silica, petroleum, arable land Democratic People's Republic of Korea (N. Korea) As one of the most restricted countries in the world, North Korea is not a huge player in either of these trades. Many of those who escape North Korea, however, are forced into sexual exploitation or forced labor by those that trannsport them. Economic inequity is of course huge in North Korea, as only classes endorse by Kim Jong Un receive wealth in any sort of form. They are also very small players in the world trade, due to their policy of isolationism, which is probably one of the main factors in their widspread poverty.

North Korea's militant stance decreases its economic potential, as the vast majority of the potential workforce is in the armed forces. 6 of 16

7 Denmark Many children are sent in from Eastern Europe to denmark as victims of human trafficking, mostly to commit forced petty theft. Drug trafficking is actually a fairly small problem in Denmark, mainly due to the strict laws they hold against durs' sale and consumption. In Austria the richest 20% of the population have 4.3 times as much wealth as the lower 20%. This is lower than the world average of 7.1, proving that Austria is in a good state of internal equality. Denmark actually has an extremely small population, ranking 113th in the world. In spite of that their economy is doing extremely well and they are currently a huge part of the world economy. GDP: $313.6 Billion, GDP : -0.6%, consumption: 49.5% government consumption: 28.6% investment in fixed capital: 17.8% investment in inventories: -0.2% exports of goods and services: 54.5% imports of goods and services: -50.1% Germany 20.8%, Sweden 13.3%, Netherlands 7.4%, China 6.3%, Norway 6.2%, UK 5.6%; Imports: raw materials and semimanufactures for industry, chemicals, grain and foodstuffs, consumer goods; Export : Germany 15.9%, Sweden 13.5%, UK 9.6%, US 6.6%, Norway 6.3%, Netherlands 4.6%; Exports: machinery and instruments, meat and meat products, dairy products, fish, pharmaceuticals, furniture, windmills gas, fish, salt, limestone, chalk, stone, gravel and sand 6%; Population 13.4% Industries: iron, steel, nonferrous metals, chemicals, food processing, transportation textiles and clothing, electronics, construction, furniture and other wood products, shipbuilding and refurbishment, windmills, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment; Indust : -1.2% Organization/Market constitutional monarchy; Economic Market: This thoroughly modern market economy features a high-tech agricultural sector, state-of-the-art industry with world-leading firms in pharmaceuticals, maritime shipping and renewable energy, and a high dependence on foreign trade. Denmark is a member of the European Union (EU); Danish legislation and regulations conform to EU standards on almost all issues. Danes enjoy a high standard of living and the Danish economy is characterized by extensive government welfare measures and an equitable distribution of income. Ecuador Egypt Many women and children = are trafficked in Ecuador go from border and highlands areas to urban areas for the purposes of forced labor or sexual exploitation. Ecuador is often used as a transit country for drug trafficking due to its location near the sea. Egypt has an estimated one million street children with no homes, and many of them become involved in forced labor or sexual exploitation. The use and distribution of Narcotics has become an increasingly troubling issue for Egypt. In 1988, it was estimated that 2,000,000 egyptians were using narcotics and that number has been heaily rising since then. In Ecuador the richest 20% of the population have 17.3 times as much wealth as the lower 20%. This is much higher than the world average of 7.9, showing that Chile does have issues with domestic inequity. In terms of the world economy Ecuador is doing well relative to its population and this should not be a concern. In Egypt the richest 20% of the population have 5.1 times as much wealth as the lower 20%. This is lower than the world average of 7.9, meaning Egypt is in a decent place in terms of internal economy. In terms of the world, however, Egypt is doing poorly relative to its population. This may be the result of social turmoil that has plagued the country in recent history.

In 1999/2000, Ecuador's economy suffered from a banking crisis, with GDP contracting by 5.3% and poverty increasing significantly. Industries: textiles, food processing, tourism, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, hydrocarbons, construction, cement, metals, light manufactures Industrial production growth rate: 1.1% 7 of 16

8 Finland France Germany Greece Finland is a source, transit, and destination country for many modern day slaves. Victims of Human Trafficking in Finland are often exploited in Restaurants, the contrcution industry, and as domestic servants. Drug trafficking is a relatively small problem in Finland, with most deeming alcohol abuse to be a laeger social issue. In Finland the richest 20% of the population have 3.8 times as much wealth as the lower 7.9, meaning Finland is in a great place in terms of internal economy. In France the richest 20% of the population have There are approximately 9,000 victims of human 5.6 times as much wealth as the lower 20%.

There are currently almost 11,000 victims of human trafficking in Germany, an estimated 12% of which are under the age of eighteen. The majority of victims are exploited in bars or brothels. Drug trafficking genreated nearly 230 million US dollars in profits in 2008, showing that the trade is definitely present in Germany. Many NGOs report that there are a lot of teenage male sex trafficking victims from Afghanistan and sub-sahran Africa in the country, in addition to many children being forced into petty theft and begging. About 10% of the greek population in 2008 reported use of a illicit drug, mainly cannabis. This show that drugs are definitely somewhat prevalent in grecian society. In Germany the richest 20% of the population have 4.3 times as much wealth as the lower 7.9, meaning that Germany is in a decent place in terms of internal economy. Despite many world wars and internal conflicts, Germany has one of the strongest economies in the world, especially when considered relative to their population. In Greece the richest 20% of the population have 6.2 times as much wealth as the lower 20%. This is lower than the world average of 7.9, yet 20% of the population is still below the peverty line, possibly due to the turmoil created by their antiquated currency a few years ago. On the international scale, greece does pretty well, and their place in the world economy should not be a huge issue.

9 Hungary Ireland India Indonesia Almost 36,000 victims of human trafficking were in Hungary as of Hungary is a source, transit, and destination country for many trades in eastern Europe. Human trafficking is a huge issue in Hungary as it consumes much of the population. Drug trafficking is not a very large issue in Hungary due to strict laws with poor enforcement. Iceland is primarily a destination country for many men and women from the baltic states. Iceland places a very large emphasis on stopping smuggling of drugs into and out of the country. In fact, police stopped nearly 500 cases of illicit drug trafficking from 2003 to In Hungary the richest 20% of the population have 3.8 times as much wealth as the lower 7.9, meaning Hungary is in a decent place in terms of internal economy. Hungary also fares well on the international scale, with a GDP to match its burgeoning population. Iceland has no issues with internal economic inequity, possibly do to a unique practice they hold. They chooose to publish the names of the rich, to ensure that people will see if the wealthy's salaries gallop to fast above everyone elses. Iceland does very well in the world economy, at least relative to its small size. India is one of the largest offenders of human India has great inequality internally, evident by trafficking, currently ranking 4th in the world for the fact that 30% of its population is below the modern slave held. There are almost 14 million poverty line. When that is contrasted to the elite slaves in India, showing that this is indeed a of India, who own everything and do nothing, huge problem. Much of this slavery stems from one can see their situation is truly very poor. child labor, forced marriage, and various other India's GDP has yet to catch up with its social constructs. India is greatly interested in astronomical population, and this is an issue that stoppping drug trafficking, signing agreements needs to be solved if India wants to improve life with various countries such as Egypt and the for its poorer inhabirants. UAE. Indonesia is a huge source country for human trafficking, and human trafficking is definitely a concern of national interest. Indonesia has many miles of coastline and this makes it very difficult for them to monitor drug trafficking, despite their harsh laws. Indonesia would probably benefit from help in monitoring its borders. In Indonesia the richest 20% of the population have 5.2 times as much wealth as the lower 7.9, meaning Indonesia is in a decent place in terms of internal economy. When it comes to world economy, however, Indonesia has simply not caught up to their massive population from a financial standpoint.

10 Iran Iraw Ireland Israel Human trafficking is a huge issue in Iran, partially due to social factors. Human trafficking their mainly refers to women being used for sexual exploitation, and the culture surrounding women in Iran is detrimental to helping this cause. Iran has lead huge campaigns against drug trafficking, earning it praise from the UN and many parts of the world. Similar to Iran, many women are trafficked in Iraq, and human trafficking is a huge issue there. Many women, some as young as eleven years old, are trafficked in and out of the country on a daily basis. Much of this stems from Iraqi society's inability to acknowledge the problem. Iceland is mainly a destination country for many victims of human trafficking, whether it be for forced labor or sexual exploitation. Ireland is often used as a transit country for drug trafficking and much of the drugs that go into the country end up in North America where there is a large market for drugs. The main human trafficking issue currently in Israel are legal immigrants being subjected to forced labor. People emigrate to Israel legally and are subsequently forced into forced labor. This problem is held by many other countries with a lot of immigration going into them. Israel is a major international cocaine trafficking hub, and this means its economy benfits from the otherwise deleterious trafficking of the drug. In Iran the richest 20% of the population have 9.7 times as much wealth as the lower 20%. This is higher than the world average of 7.9, meaning Iran probably needs improvement in this area. Iran is doing decently in terms of the world economy, though one may expect better from a country with its plentiful resources. In Iraq, the poorest 20% of the population controls 7.8% of the country's wealth. This is actuaslly a decent rate of economic equality showingthat Iraw is sufficient in this area. Iraq's economy is rather bweak for its population especially when considering its spate naturaq resources. In Ireland the richest 20% of the population have 5.4 times as much wealth as the lower 20%. This is lower than the world average of 7.9, meaning Ireland is in a decent place in terms of internal economy. Ireland's economy is actually extremely strong in terms of the world, and its internation economics should not be of concern. In Israel the richest 20% of the population have 7.9 times as much wealth as the lower 20%. This is exactly the world average, meaning Israel should probably look to reduce this statistic. Israel is doing great in the world economy, with the 42nd largest GDP in the world. It should look to work on its internal inequity, as it does very well on the world scale.
