4. Lack of Education
Education is more or less in tight connection with the previous cause of human trafficking. This case can be nicely illustrated on the example of African people (mainly women), who, since they cannot get the sufficient education, cannot qualify for a more skilled job. The lack of education also prevents them from knowing their rights and freedom of choice, which is, on the other hand, restricted in some societies by traditional social norms making the problem much harder to solve.
