The survey results suggest that the level of awareness of different forms of trafficking was low among people under 34 years of age. Roughly a fifth of 18 to 34 year olds surveyed correctly identified sexual exploitation, forced criminality, organ trafficking and labor exploitation as human trafficking. Meanwhile the share of 35 to 49 year olds who correctly identified the types of human trafficking included in the survey was highest, at 40 percent.
