</font>Human trafficking is increasing and one has to go beyond simple
101 supply and demand to attempt to understand why. Additional and
more advanced intermediate level influences include:<br>
<br>
1) What factors are behind supply and demand and how are they
changing?<br>
2) How is market structure changing?<br>
3) Understanding the trends to normalize certain kinds of human buying
and selling.<br>
4) Corporate globalization displaces workers everywhere.<br>
5) Eroding borders increase all trade flows.<br>
6) Media conglomerates can more easily influence demand.<br>
7) Post-Fordism production trends.<br>
<br>
I'll stop here before I go beyond undergraduate level topics.<br>
