I test for the robustness of 70 push and 63 pull factors suggested in the literature. In doing so, I employ an extreme bound analysis, running more than two million regressions with all possible combinations of variables for up to 153 countries during the period of 1995-2010. My results show that crime prevalence robustly explains human trafficking both in destination and origin countries. Income level also has a robust impact, suggesting that the cause of human trafficking shares that of economic migration. Law enforcement matters more in origin countries than destination countries. Interestingly, a very low level of gender equality may have constraining effects on human trafficking outflow, possibly because gender discrimination limits female mobility that is necessary for the occurrence of human trafficking.}, keywords = {Kriminalität; criminality; Menschenhandel; slave trade; Einkommen; income; Migration; migration; wirtschaftliche Lage; economic situation; Einfluss; influence; Diskriminierung; discrimination; Geschlecht; gender; Gleichstellung; affirmative action; Analyse; analysis}}
