中文摘要：

雖然國內不乏人口販運之討論，但是絕大多數均為一般性之介紹，或針對性剝削為討論對象，關於勞力剝削之探討可謂鳳毛麟角。而外籍移民工人（即外勞）在我國，是個人人都需要，但沒有人重視的議題。本文以外勞在我國面臨之勞力剝削現況為基礎事實，探討我國人口販運防制法第32條之勞力剝削罪，以及相關之刑法第296條使人為奴隸罪、勞動基準法第75條強迫勞動罪，以及三罪間之實務見解及適用關係。
由於人口販運被害人又被稱為當代奴隸，可知人口販運與奴隸制度息息相關，故本文先說明奴隸制度起源、興衰，現代國際社會移工之興起，及我國移工之現況，同時探討人口販運之成因。其次介紹聯合國、國際勞工組織、歐盟之相關公約，例如1926年禁奴公約，國際勞工組織第29、105、189號公約，2000年聯合國防制人口販運議定書、歐洲人權公約、歐盟打擊人口販運公約等。又選擇三件具重要性之歐洲人權法院判決，探求歐盟對於奴隸、奴役、強迫勞動之定義及適用情形。並介紹美國、英國、德國及我國之勞力剝削立法例。
本文亦分析我國近年來數件勞力剝削之無罪判決，對判決錯謬之處提出批判，並統整各家學說、比較法例，說明本文對勞力剝削罪之見解，並蒐錄我國最高法院104年度台上字第2189號判決之最新見解，最後針對現行法不足、模糊之處，提出人口販運防制法勞力剝削罪之修法建議。
總結而言，本文研究結果認為勞力剝削罪、使人為奴罪與強迫勞動罪三者間為交集關係，且三罪之構成要件強制程度屬層昇關係，不應混淆。面對勞力剝削案例事實，我國錯誤之實務見解將低度心理強制即可成立之勞力剝削罪，卻以最高度不法之使人為奴罪構成要件嚴格審查之，導致諸如同工不同酬、善意恐嚇、扣留證件均屬合法等各種荒謬之無罪判決，我國傳統實務見解已嚴重曲解勞力剝削罪之立法意旨，亦違反打擊人口販運、保障尊嚴勞動權之國際公約與世界潮流。

英文摘要：

The importance of anti-human trafficking seems to be fully-aware in Taiwan, but labour exploitation isn’t. Although labour exploitation is recognized as a major form of human trafficking, few research have been done in Taiwan, especially when it compares to all the academic/policy discussions and resources spent on sexual exploitation. Since Taiwan has long been graded as Tier 1 country in the Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report by the U.S. government, Taiwan authorities assume no further actions are needed, and the Human Trafficking Prevention Act which was passed in 2009 – yet full with bizarre elements and unclear definitions – has never been modified. Moreover, prosecutors and judges continued to demonstrate limited understanding of labour exploitation crimes by not appropriately recognizing the essence of labour exploitation.

This thesis highlights the very fact that most trafficking victims in Taiwan are migrant workers from Southeast Asia. And over 550,000 migrant workers are hired in through recruitment agencies and brokers, to perform low-skilled work as domestic workers or in the manufacturing industries. Some migrant workers are charged excessive recruitment fees, resulting in substantial debts used by brokers or employers as tools of coercion to retain their labor. Domestic workers are also vulnerable to exploitation, since they are excluded from the protections of minimum wage or maximum daily working hours according to the Labor Standards Law.

By reviewing the latest judgements relating to forced labour cases of ECHR(European Court of Human Rights) , and international treaties of UN, EU and ILO(International Labour Organization), this thesis analyzes the existing misunderstanding of labour exploitation crimes in Taiwan’s court decisions. This thesis also argues that Article 296 of Criminal Code (Slavery), Article 75 of Labor Standards Law (Forced Labour crime) and Article 32 of the Human Trafficking Prevention Act (Labour Exploitation crime) are related, partly overlapping yet intrinsically different crimes, and proposes alternative interpretations of Article 32 of the Human Trafficking Prevention Act.
