Debt bondage as a key form of contemporary slavery 2016, para. 40 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | People in debt bondage tend to have experienced a low level of access to education, which frequently results in illiteracy and innumeracy. This leads to a lack of alternative employment options and makes them vulnerable to exploitation from their employers. Illiteracy and innumeracy allow employers or recruiters to manipulate loans, interest rates and wages. Poor remuneration in previous employment is considered to be a major cause of debt bondage, as workers are forced to take loans or advances to cover basic subsistence needs. | Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of slavery, including its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |
