Industry, Workforce:

"Modern slavery and human trafficking risks in hardware and component manufacturing are often related to migrant labor and issues such as recruitment fees, debt bondage, withholding of identification papers and low wages."

"Modern slavery and human trafficking risks are also present further upstream in these supply chains, in the extractive sector, where child labor and forced labor risks are associated with ongoing armed conflicts and instability in source countries."

 

There are a few mentions of "high-risk" countries but no country is explicitly listed.
