Slavery used to look like this, then it evolved into this, and today it looks like this.
In fact, there are an estimated 45.8 million people living in modern slavery across 167 different countries. They fall into three general categories: children held in the commercial sex trade; adults held in the commercial sex trade; and any other laborer made to work through force, fraud, or coercion.
The trafficking victim often looks like anybody else at work in a mine, on a farm, in a factory. Many are lured by promises of a steady job in another country, only to have their passports confiscated when they arrive. However, many slaves work in their native countries or even the cities where they were born.
According to The Global Slavery Index, these ten countries are home to the most modern slaves. They each suffer from income inequality, discrimination and classism, and entrenched corruption.
Number ten, Indonesia, produces about 35% of the world’s palm oil. The many small palm plantations present an immense challenge to inspectors trying to crack down on child labor. The country’s many islands are also home to tens of thousands of enslaved fisherman trafficked from Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia.
Number nine is the Democratic Republic of Congo. 20,000 of the DRC’s more than 870,000 slaves live in one of the most hellish landscapes on the planet, a vast ore mine in the east of the country.
The terrorist group Boko Haram gets overshadowed by ISIS, although it kills more people. When it comes to enslavement, one of its tactics is to give Nigerian entrepreneurs loans and then force them to join their group if they fail to repay fast enough.
Seventh is Russia. 55% of the slaves there work in construction. Foreigners are lured mainly from nearby Azerbaijan, the “stans,” Ukraine, and North Korea-thanks to this border on the far eastern edge of Russia.
The North Korean government is the world’s largest single slaveholder. Not only does it force more than one million of its people to toil in labor camps and other similarly hopeless situations, but it actually loans out some people to work in neighboring China and Russia, then pockets most of their wages. This exploitation generates about $2.3B each year for the Kim Jong-un regime.
The fifth most enslaved country, Uzbekistan, is the world’s sixth largest producer of cotton. It has benefited from forced labor, as the government puts more than 1 million people to work using threats of debt bondage, heavy fines, asset confiscation, and police intimidation.
Slave recruiters in Bangladesh promise poor families that their boys will be given a job, only to be enslaved on a faraway island and beaten to clean fish for up to 24 hours straight. Often, these fish are exported as cat food for our pets. Sometimes, the boys meet a gruesome death when they are eaten by tigers while searching for firewood.
Third is Pakistan, which has suffered through decades of conflict, terrorism, and displacement-especially along its northwestern border with Afghanistan. Its provinces have not raised the minimum age of marriage, which has allowed the widespread problem of forced and child weddings to continue.
Over 250 million Chinese have migrated within the country to find better opportunities, creating the ideal conditions for human trafficking. Each year, 58 million children are ‘left behind’ as their parents search of work in the China’s many booming cities. Every year, up to 70,000 children fall into forced begging, illegal adoption, and sex slavery.
And number one is India, which has - by far - the most victims of modern slavery. While economic growth has greatly reduced the percentage of its citizens living in poverty, the country’s sheer size still results in more than 270 million Indians living on less than $2/day. It’s unsurprising that inter-generational bonded labor, forced child labor, commercial sexual exploitation, forced begging, forced recruitment into nonstate armed groups, and forced marriage all exist in India. The government has already created many of the laws necessary to fight the epidemic, but the challenge is enforcing those laws and tracking improvements and areas of continued need.

Slavery was still *legal* in Saudi Arabia until 1969.
That's just the public relations side of things.
Yes it was legal. But this does not mean it is spread among all people! Few cases .. Apartheid existed in the United States of America to 70S
No it was abolished in 1962, only three years after Bhutan.
Slavery was still legal in Colorado Prisons until last year.
@@samnicholson5051 prisoners aren't slaves. They have a debt to society. They should be made to pay it.
@@GuyUWishUWere The now amended section from the Colorado Constitution read "There shall never be in this state either slavery or involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted."
They were legally allowed to enslaved! Slavery is slavery, whether you're a prisoner or not.
@@samnicholson5051 So? Criminals don't deserve freedom.
This world is so incredibly sad, I feel the pain of my fellow brothers and sisters. May these poor souls not become victims of evil, but victims of hope.
Thank you... really tired of the arguing about when it occurs and what type of human torture is more important... Its nice to see there are other people on this planet that look at what we do as a species to each other and the world and feel it is all wrong. Bless you dude.
Saudi arabia and Arabs emirates should have been on this list ..
Of course islamist Slaves trade of all time Slavery was part of the despicable cult of islam and in Arabs culture , regardless of your brainwashing , Islam is and will always be tied to Tyran and slaves owners

You know Hitler and the Nazi were Allies with the Islamic states in general right ?
Also he admired the way Islam was brainwashing peoples and making them Fanatical soldiers and zealots ready to fight at all cost even loosing their life to put impostors and evil mens like mohamed on a trone
Please feel grateful that no matter what color or gender you are, being born to a stable and decent family in a Western country means you are already luckier than billions of other people.
don't forget many things produced by these modern slaves are sold and consumed in western countries
There’s pros and cons.. wouldn’t mind living in Vietnam actually
Regardless of where you are born, being born as a human means that you are luckier than all other organisms in the world, and by virtue of being a living organism, you are special in a universe filled with inanimate dead objects and void.
@@Danwade7979 That's why I'm glad I live in the States; not in those countries.
Same applies to other places
Why is the top 10 countries with least amount of slavery based on the percentage of the population while the rest of the video is based on the total amount of slaves.
inb4 someone edgy comments "we're all wage slaves to the evil corporations"
I guess certain truths are perceived as edgy as a defence mechanism for certain people lmao
"truth"
This free market capitalist western world with your perceived so called "evil corporations" has the best model in the world and has allowed the people within it to flourish. With the living standards constantly going up....with countless stories of individuals each day going from broke to wealthy through luck and more often through hard work. Corperations are made up of people like you and me....they are not like your ma and pa shops because there business is scaled up immensely making them offer goods/services at lower rates
Capitalism WAS great, and was necessary to facilitate the comfort we live in now but it has far more adversities to continue on. With automation which will replace almost 90% of jobs by the next few decades we will have to adapt to a more advanced system and capitalism will ultimately become obsolete.
Corporations especially those which are monopolies are indescribably detrimental to us, our well being and the planet, eventually things are going to change.
Fear of automation has been around for 50 years. It never happens, automation might replace some jobs, but new jobs will be created. I could explain why but I don't care right now.
Monopolies are most of the time created by government intervention with things like regulations, taxes, licensing, lobbying e.t.c
As an Indian, it's shameful to see India tops the list of modern slavery. We all should accept that there are many social evils in our country ranging from Sanitaion, poverty, Rape cases, corruption etc. Root cause is poverty and huge population which forces small children to go into bonded labour, suffer from sexual exploitation and grow without education. I hope that these problem gets eliminated when we enter 2030.
I bet Pakistan is worse
It truly is heartbreaking. I've been a humanitarian worker in India for about a year now and it's pretty shocking. Although we should be optimistic! The situation is improving, and quickly!
Well no sir
Ankit Singh No doubt India is a shithole but what comforts me is that we are changing rapidly.
Religion is hitting india back. People are brainwashed such that fighting each other is important than having quality life, education, social security etc
The ranking should be based on percentage of population...
Gopi nath Kaki
True
Gopi nath Kaki i mean that would mean bigger countries with large populations would have lower slave percentages but have more slaves than a smaller country with a smaller population, which would mean a smaller slave population yet higher slave percentages.
@@sandman5587 Yeah...that's how percentages work.
But whatever keeps Europe and the Americas green, right?
pullt i was saying that the amount of slaves should rank higher on this list than percentage of people enslaved.
@@pullt are you saying that Europe and the us has the highest percentage of slavery?
I think this video should be shown at every university.
Particularly in America. Imagine if you could task all those, fierce, energetic, determined students to focus on modern slavery instead of historical slavery. They could accomplish great things.
also videos of kkk
You give those brats too much credit. They do not want a cause to fight for they want a target to bully! They would never dream of actually sticking their necks out and digging their feet in the trenches. No, they just someone they can kick and won't fight back!
@Will Pack that may work in first world countries but there is no way to stop what we see here. It's been known for decades. As for history, the western world is experiencing cultural Marxism. We know where that leads. Is anyone trying to stop it?
Modern slavery in America is behind closed doors in our prisons. Minority groups are intentionally targeted by the government through law enforcement and placed into prisons and jails as "slaves to the state". Instead of exposing the government's actions the news is constantly demonizing these groups in the media to take the attention away from our corporate masters that own us and treat us as 2nd class citizens. When legislation in this country is put into law it is swayed by the rich as well as a corporate group known as ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) which is funded by big corporations like Google and in return these laws help these companies. Unfortunately our only option is to overthrow which in itself is not possible
nah its a little too weak.. it says nothing.. and almost says a lot of untruth... Its gives few real stats and makes grand gestures as to what appears to be happening.
Why was Australia red in the thumbnail but then listed at 7th best in the world in the video?
Good question. I hadn't noticed that when I made the thumbnail...it's red because that infographic is region-wide and lumps them in as part of the Asia Pacific region, which - because of India, N. Korea, and China - has 30M+ slaves.
Then why don't you change the thumbnail? And while you are at it get rid of your ludicrous claim that the US is number one in having the least number of slaves. You are right up there with India.
Right, not really fair to put us in with Indonesia! Can you change it to the map at 6:54 although it's less clickbaity
N B
Same with my country (Sri Lanka) in the thumbnail its listed as red, but in the map at the end its stated as white (low rate of slavery).
Greg Moylan thats just ridiculous
That girl selling flowers literally brought tears to my eyes :'(
Yes, that was quite impressionable! She handled the rejections very well -- like how that one lady ignored her.
Welcome to the human race.
You can't blame whites any longer for slavery. The top countries that practice slavery are all non-white countries of Asia.
Me too😢
Just think if she was born in the states she might grow up to be a millionaire real estate agent yet due to lack of luck she will never own a home of her own.
I suddenly feel very domesticated and sheltered.
A G yup, but we’re too sheltered to see that
A G yep, this has been going on for a while now. If we don’t learn about the full truth of our history, we end up with modern day America.
No pe america? AMERICA? So not other places, also if you mean usa, america is both south and north
MegaPlayz Just focusing on the most relevant. Yes I was including the entirety of the continent.

Imagine if your little brother was a slave; working hard all day, cry in the evening and never be happy playing with his toys. I am glad i was born in Norway with a silver spoon and can get everything I am pointing on.
This is sad.
It's also sad that instead focusing on the suffering of those mentioned in this video, people are coming here and using this information for deflection or as ammo for their own political agendas.
Seriously. The comment section was more upsetting than the content of the video.... almost.
BlinxBot I'd be upset, but lets be real, I'd be one of those people if ai came early enough
CosmicShift47 People like you are the reason why we won't make it far into space.
I promote self hate within the Danimal community
Dude the fact that it’s awful is quite a given fact that not everyone needs to start out their comments by stating that they acknowledge it.
Where are the Emirates?
Don't have as much as perceived probably
These are the worst 10 countries in modern slavery, not ALL COUNTRIES with some kind of slavery, and trust me the media exaggerates the amount of "modern slaves" in there.
Small population

It is really disappointing that there are so many ignorant comments here
Doña Zarkasma Memeng no
Andew Burr Oh Covfefe
Yeah, but kudos to the Zionist media that has done such a cracking job of making people hate all Muslims for the actions of a fraction of 1%.
Ignorant implies that they dont know better, stupid is more appropriate. These stupid people choose to act dumb and make fun of this horrid phenomenon.
The thing is, if the focus is on Muslims instead of human trafficking, then it takes away from efforts to stop all non-Muslim human trafficking. We have the same issue with mass shooting in the United States. The Trump government decided to stop taking metrics of white supremacist groups while focusing on immigrants and Muslims. The result is a bunch of stilted numbers they can point to in order to persecute minorities.
You forgot unpaid internships for students
It's a bond though as you won't get the job without it
star666moon Internship is usually unpaid. and it is part of a College curriculum
YouCan'tAlwaysGet WhatYouWant That does not justify how students are treated
Unpaid internship is actually illegal. So yes the OP is right.
Remember any coercive force to make people do labour is Slavery.
What’s with the thumbnail? Australia and New Zealand colour coded as hotbeds of slavery...?
Maybe there’s slavery there. Just cause it’s considered first world, doesn’t mean there isn’t.
The Unionist workers think they are SLAVES LOL
There is no slavery in Australia. My Grandfather was half Aboriginal and served in the Australian Imperial Forces during World War 2 against the Japanese in New Britain. He was very patriotic and identified as Australian. He never asked for special treatment for his heritage. He was also brilliant and an excellent Snooker (Billards) and 500 Cards player. He could count cards. Aboriginal Culture is highly tied to the Land. In Australia they have specific land rights. If they traditionally held the land, they can claim ownership. They are also given extra benefits by our welfare system.

@@xpistolbaked it's not like the slave trade from the old days, by definition someone working for no money is a slave which included exploited workers which absolutley happens in Australia, because it happens all over the world.

Same!! I was about to comment but I wait till the end of the video, what a clickbait!

JujehMashini population and conditions. honestly the type of slavery Qatar does makes the UAE look like resetti from animal crossing.
JujehMashini To ask that question is to answer it.
Farside because they have signed an refugee resolution at the UN after ww2 .
Because dubai is a city and not a country wtf
JujehMashini as you stated as well
What sucks is there's seemingly nothing anyone can do to fix any of this.
We as Europe and the English did something in our own countries but we can't enforce the whole world.... Without colonising it for example and those days are over. So it's up to the people itself realy. And the thing is we had a lot of money to abolish slavery and keep people and ships on the ocean fighting slavers , the countries where slavery is still a thing don't have anything much . Most of those countries are too corrupt to even bother about slavery.
At 4:15 it's heart breaking to see these young girls forced into this😭😭
@omnivore gains it's not normal but try to do something about it when 50 percent of the population doesn't have a smart phone or when first world countries buy cheap items from slave labour
These are extremely conservative estimates. The actual numbers are likely much higher.
GoldenHawk and north korea maybe 15 million slaves
GoldenHawk Because the developed countries don't wanna work minimum wages
More like wrong criteria used here just to make few countries look bad.
Julian Assange i agree these americans dont look at the actual statistics and do just a quick search on google or just watch a damn youtube video
How can an estimate be conservative?
I am from Europe, lived in China for about 5 years (combining different periods). I lived in modern cities like Shanghai, Wuxi, Suzhou. Every weekend I would go out, and quite often did I see very young kids begging and trying to sell flowers in front of nightclubs after midnight, while their 'handlers' (very old women in most cases) were standing around the corner or looking from a distance. Countless times have I shouted at them, that the kid should be in bed, asked if they were family, etc. I speak Mandarin quite well but they always acted like they had no clue. Kids like that on the street is not an uncommon sight, and I bet in lower tier cities it is even worse. Prostitution is rampant too, it all happens under the noses of the police and they don't seem to care... as long as you pay them I guess.
It is happening in every country, which is sad.
maus maus I live in U.S.,but have done my share of traveling related to my job.I know what you mean.It's heartbreaking to see street kids,even toddlers begging.I felt helpless,but did buy 20 burgers and rice from McDonalds for a group of them.They were in the streets during school hours.There are so many starving kids and their govts dont care.You really learn to appreciate what you have when seeing this with your own eyes.
its not happening in every country....
john axmacher Call the police. Tell them there are suspected child trafficking. They will check the handlers’s ID and to see if they are legal guardians of the children.
Vash Stampede I worked for a contractor in south Philippines in 2009.It was during OED-P.(Operation Enduring Freedom).Police officers were abundant,and watched the neglect happen.The police and govt were fully aware then.I dont know about now,as Deuterte is their president.I hope times have changed for those children.I'll never forget it.

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought that the Arab regions had more slaves than they did for some regions
where is Saudi and emirate in the liste
Wow, believing that arabs have the highest population of slaves? UAE has less total population than the enslaved population of India.
Kaz Tell that to the Nepalese workers in qatar that are currently building the stadiums for the 2022 world cup.
Hello Hi working for them makes them slaves?!
Ahmad Saee The way theyre being treated kinda makes them slaves. Passport taken away, 12 hours of work a day 6 days a week, extremely unhygienic and dangerous conditions, thousands have died already, etc.
Hello Hi I'm not sure about taking their passports away if it's true or not but i know that uae is gradually building a village for workers (u can search it) for those who can't afford a flat. I mean it's not so bad generally and as a simple worker you can't expect an easy job with a high salary.
some of these comments make me sick
Children in the west are forced into schools and believe it or the official number of how many of those children get psychological because of high school is 80%. 50% of all children in western high schools gets depression with a majority of them have trouble with depression when there have past already 20 years. people who go to high school longer also learn less quick and have a shorter life expectancy, a higher chance of getting many neurological diseases and worse long term memories because when you study for a test you learn until you have the test and then often ease up on your self and forget it. When you train that for years your memory will not support new memories as much as it did before you went to school and many of the connections your brain cells have made are even deleted out of habit and in this process brain cells themselves are killed too and those can be replaced. That so many people support this really makes me sick. Maybe if we would have ever tried to make a good education system we would have noticed that the system we now use is charity for failed politicians who just leave politics and go rule over a class of children. A lowest number of how many police cars are send after one angry kid running away from school where I live is four. Have police officers nothing else to do with their lives. I think maybe they should arrest some criminals or something or is that just me? Oh and have I already told the story about the kid who took baking powder to school and got his face smashed on a chair by police officers that sure was to protect his future!
ik K-12 it’s the Whigger factory where Marxist indoctrination is much more important than learning anything.
Some of these comments are so dumb theyre funny
well we live in a sickening world, nothing out of ordinary for me, but luckily this world is comin to an end
Well it shows that people aren't really concerned with slavery, but with hating on Muslims. They are fine with the type of slavery that happens in North Korea or Russia.
I feel America should be up there. Not only because it takes advantage of illegal immigrants with fear of deportation, but it also used their prison population to make products for companies. Which in turn they are paid an extremely low wage for.
Isn't it what all prisons do?
The thumbnail for this vid is really misleading, just look at Australia/New Zealand for example
Click bait

Kekistan mostly. We are by far more oppressed and enslaved than the other stans.
You do know that Europe exploited slavery for almost 500 years right? America had slaves from its early colonial days up until late 19th century. So you're saying Europeans and Americans were Satan, too? 500 years of pain and suffering is a lot to endure. You're talking today, but what's that compared to the 500 years the world over has suffered, from Australia, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. European colonial powers enslaved the locals, sex slavery, plantation, opium wars, small pox that killed of the 500 nations in the America's. The whole American continent was pretty stolen from the natives. Have some sense of perspective, mate!

Farside which ones of us are you talking to
If you noticed, it's edited (in brackets). It was not originally STANS.
People - before you start arguing in the comments about whether this is Imperialist US propaganda or not. realize that its a 7 minute video - condensed version of a worldwide study and an academic book that was written by a scientist who has spent quite a long time studying the problem, and the links to the web site of the study and the full interview with the author are in the description so you could at least be armed with some knowledge before you shoot your mouth off. Im not saying the makers of the video didnt cherry-pick the data to show a particular point of view - just saying you will have more to contribute if you check the sources.
Thank you! One smart comment in a sea of morons.
Thank you, though it hardly seems worth it. On UA-cam the more considerate and thoughtful or informative your comment, the more it is likely to be ignored. If I said something ignorant, rude or offensive I would get a hundred replies.
People think with feelings and not logic it's kind of hard thing to manage with libtards Especially
flurbius vondoom its still propaganda though
My friend, you can have as much academic books as you want if they are all look from one point of view! This video is propaganda. Acctualy from probably all videos with this context have at least a little bit of propaganda!
Saudi Arabia didn't show up in the list , who could've topped the charts. So you can guess how authentic his assessment is in this regard.

In Pakistan there are laws like Child Marriage Restraint Act, 1929, and the Punjab Child Marriages Restraint (Amendment) Act, 2015. People on Pak-Afgan perfer traditional laws over fedral laws. There is also a debt bondage problem involving the brick klin workers here.
I'm praying 🙏 all slavery needs to end
It's rare to see a top 10 video dedicate half of its running time to the idea of helping. Loved it. Keep up the good work!
I have personally witnessed a child being kidnapped from a busy railway station on a crowded office day in broad daylight in Calcutta , one of the four biggest city in India. The situation in other parts of India sp in the North Indian states are still worse. Considering my own experiences, sheer logic ,various statistical social indicators ,all pervading nexus between police, crimnals,politicials and the corrupt rich , an abominably bad judiciary I have every good reason to believe in the credibility of this report. Like many other social evils, in terms of slavery too unfortunately India stands as the biggest he'll.
Anindya Dasgupta problem is india is developing but reality is hindustan becaming more poorer then ever, we need revolution, killing all politician and beurocrates ,....just need a fresh start by proliterian to proliterian.
Mr Royal gem, i donot think trafficked children and women are treated any better than livestock, more so in a country like India.So the question of any payment at all, leave aside justified payment is out of any question for slaves, particularly enslaved children in India. Most shocking,in India police in some north Indian states kidnap street children and keep them as slaves (no payment please) to perform the chores in jails. This is beyond comment.
Its true this is a big problem particularly in Kolkata. Fortunately India is changing fast. I genuinely believe that In fifty to a hundred years, India will be more developed than the West and this will no longer be a problem.

@@kyaberryman7367 Completely wrong. Such atrocities are all over India, not only in Kolkata. It is worst in the Hindi speaking regions of North India.
Thank you for such a brilliantly succinct overview.
my dad and many other young men from his town (who are from Pakistan) were promised jobs in Libia in the 80s...there, their passport were confiscated and they were forced to work for 2 small meal a day which they had to share and they all had to sleep together on the floor in a room. I'm still not sure how they escaped... I'm saddened to know how this still happens to many young men who go to middle eastetn countries such as Saudia Arabia
I'm ashamed to see all these stupid comments on such an important and hard-hitting topic.
Where is Saudi Arabia on this list?
The list is paid of by Arab money so you won't see Qatar, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi there. Pakistan which has very amount of slaves would still show up at 3rd spot and Mushrikland india on first spot. Clearly biased list.

Kind of pathetic tbh.
I think India having a social caste system may also play a major role in the slave industry there. Just speculation.
they have percentages in the video
Indians have only started combating the stigmas of their caste system probably within the last half century. It'll take a lot more to remove the stigma and influence of a system that has been around for thousands of years. And you're only referring to your anecdotal evidence in Mumbai, a tiny portion of the entire country. Outside the cities, India is still pretty backward.
Unlike Europe, India was a land of diverse generic variations.....caste system came into being to isolate the gene pool, EXACTLY the same way majority white folks don't do interracial marriages. Its the same in the US as well, racial tolerance Yes, but not assimilation. black live with blacks, whites with whites. Same thing just repackaged label.
It has certainly contributed to the sense of unashamed exploitation in their culture.
The biggest *users* I've ever met were Indians;
as soon as they think you might be "useful" to them in some way, they suddenly approach you like leeches and used car salesmen.
I agree, it is true, even though some random Indian might disagree to you and say "oh it doesnt exist in cities like mumbai" that is just a lie, caste system still exists even in cities like Mumbai, just ask any bmc worker cleaning the streets what caste they are, majority of them will be dalits
Slavery is one of those issues that, I feel, it is more effective to look at raw numbers than ratios - which is done for the first half of this video, but not the second. By this video's metrics, the US is the number one country most effective at fighting slavery, but by the numbers shown, we have more slaves (mostly prison labor, if I'm not mistaken) than next six countries on the list combined. Fifty thousand people is not a statistic, it's lives.
I completely agree!
Ta-daa!!!
i think both raw numbers and per capita r important for this discussion. showing either one but not the other feels misleading & underhanded
Why aren’t American News Networks upset about a slavery that is a current event instead of moaning about a past event?
lol China and India are two countries with most population in the world. Even 1 percent means a lot of ppl. This ranking is so FAIR.
Siyue Wang exactly
And yet the map at the end of the video shows china in pale yellow, even though it was #2 right behind india. Wonder how that works.
India would still be 5 in a top 10 list of percentage.
China however is put on this list purely because of their high population, They have a moderately low percentage.
It's not just the number of slaves. It's the percentage of the entire country's population. India is far worse than China in that aspect.
We are all slaves the difference is that some live in chains and others live in debts!
Ironmaidenportugal um no being in debt isn’t like being a slave
HELL YEAH!
WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT?
lasest2 someone earning $50k can't get anywhere close to $2m in debt.
I mean you still have rights and agency even if you are in debt.
There is a big difference between those two. In case of debt it is debtors problem he signed that loan treaty and got loan it was his choice there were no asymmetric information he knew that he would supposed to pay the loan and nobody would to kill failed debtor.
In case of chains slave whether work or became liability and get murdered. And slave is usually tricked or outright grabbed from the street.
Australia not looking good in that thumbnail.
yeah! whats up with that?? there aint no slaves australia!? ...is there? ...no way
Yea, it even seems to contradict the video itself. It is telling that the picture they put forward to advertise this is the one that seems to have no research seemingly except labeling thing farther away from the USA on a map as more slavery. It’s just odd that there is a better world map in the video and they put something completely uninformative as the thumbnail.
@@zacharycurtis833 It's simply clickbait.

In Australia, it's a public knowledge that many people who work in shops, restaurants and other places are underpaid. Some could be paid way below the minimum wage like $8, $5 or even less.
Wow. Millions of people are being enslaved around the world and neither the US or European countries are being blamed. Progress!
Because they are not caused by the U.S. or European countries its done mainly in Asia and Africa
How am i self centered?
oh sorry
Indonesia also had being enslaved for 350 years too u know. Hehe
Because it isn't as many as the countries in Asia and Africa, plus these are the only cases that were documented recently.Who knows if there are many more cases still yet undiscovered
No mention of the US prison system?
@@meanlawrence7453 Strange that it only occurs in the US then. Perhaps it's all the racism?
These lives matter more! They deserve more of our concern. Modern slavery is worse than first world modern racism.
@ I don't think the purpose of slavery in any time is due to the desire to oppress people because of a race. Regardless of when and where, I believe the purpose of slavery is free labor.
@ As in getting people to work for you without paying them or providing means for independent social mobility.
This isn't slavery guys! It's society! They work for each other and pay each other money.

thats how its looked at in india, apart from the obviousness with which rick stated it. So, I'd like to add the modern IT jobs that drain india's brain is also a form of slavery, a form where there is slow decay of the mental facilities!
Well that just sounds like slavery with extra steps!
Trust me they don't get half the money they deserve. Sadly I could not get your reference.

In the US Mexicans come to work for corporations get their documents seized and forced economically in to labor
Are you kidding me
A third of the union's territory was conquered from Mexico
The union is based on immigrants
@@alessandroeltizio4570 Yes you are correct, but those immigrants came in *legally*
Income inequality isn’t slavery… it may suck but it’s not slavery.
I don’t think those people get paid
Yes it is. Being forced to work as a child in a mine because you have no other opportunities or prospects sounds like slavery to me. Stop licking the boot of corporations.
It is sick and disturbing that this "modern slavery" is being compared to the slavery that occurred throughout the World prior to 1865. Slavery is being forced to work against your will. More importantly, you can't just quit, leave, not show up for work, refuse to work, etc. True slavery is no different than being a prisoner. If you escape for any reason, you will be hunted down, punished, and forced back into the circumstances that you tried to escape from. You have no choice in regards to who you work for, the type of labor you perform, how long you work, or how you will be compensated. You have no choice as to where you stay, where you go, what you eat, how much you eat, or who you can associate with. Every aspect of your life is controlled and at the discretion of the person or organization who owns/enslaves you. Quit conflating being severely underpaid or compensated with being a "slave". Working 70 hours a week for a loaf of bread is not slavery, unless you deciding to quit or not show up to work the next day results in a bullet to your head. If someone isn't sent to capture you and force you against your will to go back to the job site, then you are not a slave.

I believe that the number of enslaved and trafficked humans in the US is much higher than estimated.
Morag MacGregor keep believing that. I'm sure South America and Asia would disagree.
Why do you believe that?
@Sharnie Gujjar if you get paid and you can quit your job, you are not a slave, it's different having no other options (work or work), than having the option to quit and try luck in other place.
Maybe, but I bet slavery in China and India is SO much higher than stated. Like, they have many slaves. So, of course we don't know all the slaves in the world cause we would be trying to help them if we did.
That makes me wonder, what are the estimated of the “flow” of human trafficking through countries,
For example, if hypothetically there are 1 million enslaved humans in the US who stay there, how many are temporarily trafficked through there?
In India the government has really done many things about it ... People of Morden slavery are declining day by day ... And now in 2020 I don't think there are any Morden slavery cases
I can't believe how ignorant I am that I had no idea this is happening today. I am grateful to have been born free and I will start to look into how to help those who are not. I am not a believer of any religion but I hope that some cosmic force will direct my prayers towards them.
BTW I'm not bashing America
But I think it can be higher than 60,000
As illegal immigrants can be treated like slaves
Dan B that's their choice to illegally immigrate. They don't count. Slavery is involuntary.
Maybe in terms of poor working conditions but they actually get paid a decent wage (mostly minimum wage or a little lower). I used to know a friend who had parents who immigrated here illegally and he said that they one worked as a sewing machine operator and the other worked at a restaurant.
Technically if they aren't citizens or residents , they are not documented into the demographics of the United States
Ryan Hutcheson
If it happens in _X_ country's fields, it indelibly bevomes _X_ country's slavery, because they let people be enslaved in their lands.
Is it that hard to understand or you are just another 'murican in denial.
illegal immigrants mean they are illegal, mean that they should be treated same as prisoners.
I feel bad for the people who end up being sold to torturers
Slavery used to look like this
Wow, credibility lost in literally the first 2 seconds.
That is a record
Makes sense, slavery is not happening, nothing to see here.
@@isaacp170 OH don;t get me wrong. Slavery existed and does exist.
By that picture and "Slavery used to look like this", uh, no it didn't.
Archaeological evidence proved that the Egyptians, while they did have slaves, did not use those slaves for the construction projects.
Construction projects were done during the annual flood period by farmers who needed work in the off season while their farms were under water.
The were paid well, and given the best available medical access.
Even if the video has the right message, the creator of it didn't due their research in order to present it in a factual manner.
It surprising to me that India and China still have slaves but the European countries don’t I always think that the the only countries that have slaves are the European countries
Slavery wasn't practiced since like the 10th century in most parts of europe, and the last people who held slaved in europe were literally asians.

I have a serious question to African Americans, if you're not gonna answer with respect and in a professional manner don't even respond: how can we work together to help people that have suffered the same fate as your ancestors? If it's such an issue how can you and I come together to make sure nobody else has to suffer?
Keep that in mind, god bless!
abisola adeusi I'm lead to either believe that you have never read in your life or you're just plain stupid. I clearly asked how can WE work together. Stop trying to victimize African Americans. They don't need no white tears or white pity, they are strong and resilient people.
1) Turkey isn't European
2) This is the sort of things people in developed countries should know about for those that think slavery does not exist.
Daniel RRNC only eastern Thrace. 97% of turkey is in the Middle East
Demet Turkey is NOT European. Islamic dictatorships don't belong in Europe.
If they labeled Turkey as Europe then why did they label Russia as Eurasian?
Turkey could have been European, but they decided to go backwards and let President Gollum have his powergrab and destroy everything about the country that Atatürk envisioned.
Bru Turkey will never be a part of Europe no matter how much you want it
Egypt slavery was revoked wasn't it ? As a theory . Idk.
China slavery is creepy too
This is sickening and must be stopped!!!!
You forgot to mention the United States prison system. Also there are people involved in forced labor outside of the prison system in the states as well.
bamm86 Yeah, that's why he had the number shown at the end. Also, prisoners are not owned, and their terms of freedom are clearly defined and promised. If anything, they're indentured servants.
Prisoners in the US do not have to work for that particular reason. It isn't like in cartoons.
The one's who do work while in prison receive monetary payments that can either be used during or after their sentence is over.

There is slavery in the US. I had a teacher in high school that worked in the CIA with a specialty in white slavery (sexual slavery). The largest area for white slavery in the country is Northern Virginia.

In 2012, it was estimated that 10-20% of the population of Mauritania (between 340,000 and 680,000 people) live in slavery.
No mention of this why?
iwatchseries total amount of slaves, number 10 Indonesia has 736000 slaves which is more than 680000
Here in Brasil some criminal organizations are force-recruiting young boys to be their initiates by threatening to kill their families. The worst of all is that they eventually get used to and start to like that life of easy gains and power flaunting. Since some areas are completely controlled by these criminal organizations due to difficult access (narrow roads, hilly area, etc), they're effectively kings there.
All I wanna know is how I'm supposed to feel good that I'm indian if it's in such turmoil. My god
a mention of Brazil, which has countless slaves working in sawmills in the Amazon and makes clandestines, in addition to exporting slaves to other countries in South America.
In every suffering situation there’s always someone benefiting.
The American prison population has to be included in this. There are prisoners that are trained professionals in many fields that get put to work for pennies on the dollar in prison, and have no choice to do so if they want to have their own money. I know of a guy who was an appliance tech for General Electric while in prison, but when he finished his sentence could not get hired anywhere despite his experience, not even General Electric. The US prison population is out of control and according to our own constitution and the 13th amendment, prisoners are slaves.
Let's ignore real life slavery by nonwhites to get back to blaming everything on America again. Typical liberal genius
Why didn't you count school?!?!
Edit: You guys can't take a joke.
Schooling is a privilege. Many children (and adults) wish they could participate in schooling every day of their lives. I am a first world child, and I have first world problems. I get caught up in thoughts like "OMG school is so hard i'm going to kms." , but I try to realize that I could have been born in rural Africa just as easily as I was born here in the United States. You are blessed kid, do not ever take your life for granted. :D
It is. Like Carlton said, many children wish they could go to school and get the proper education to open the door for new opportunities. In some countries, you have to pay for school and most children are born in terrible financial situations where they have to work to support their families or themselves and will never be able to have the chance to expand their knowledge. We're lucky that we can go to school. Can you tell me how school isn't a privilege?
We are a first world country, our school system could be way better, we shouldn't have a system thats 100 years old, this is why first world children hate their schools, the system is old and flawed.
Frenchie I agree, but we should be glad that we get to have something very valuable unlike other children in third world countries, and that is education.
School is a waste of 14 years of your LIFE.
From 4 years up to 7 I believe. Your brain is sucking every bit of info super fast.
But guess what happens at that age, you're in kindergarten and then elementary School.
By the time you have a sense of what you like to do, your golden time has passed and learning any skill becomes twice as hard.
Apart from that
In some countries it's obligatory to go to a school if you ever want a job.
They don't give any chance to get the papers required to work unless you go to school.
School it's a form of brainwashing that eats away the humanity and goodwill of a lot of children, with symptoms of antisocial behaviors or even depression going as soon as the last year's of elementary School.
There's obviously exceptions though.
And like the original comment said, a form of slavery.
Directly to the office, the army or whatever other workforce the government puts In front on you.
With benefits that lure you in.
Thanks for reading lol.
Slavery is defined 2 things:
1) Unpaid, or almost unpaid.
2) Lack the freedom to just walk away from work and quit.
This negates many countries on the list. For example, median yearly wage of Chinese migrant factory workers is $11k US dollar equivalent. That's a decent wage in that part of the world where living expenses cost less. To put things into perspective, median yearly wage of Mexican field laborers picking vegetables under the sweltering sun in the US is $14k. Cost of living is far higher than in China. Farm owners take $3k-$6k per year out of that $12k for lodging. On the other hand, Chinese factories provide free lodging to its workers, free meals, free uniforms, and electronic factories are air conditioned by necessity. There's a reason Chinese migrant workers leave home to go to cities for work willingly - they earn far more than work the fields at home, and in air conditioned electronics factory, compared to under the sweltering sun.
This list looks like propaganda more than anything else. Domestic workers in Saudi Arabia are beaten regularly, forbidden to leave, and often unpaid. Yet they receive no mention just because Saudis are our ally.
Some factories offer decent opportunities for escaping poverty, but at the expense of mass unemployment in America`s rust belt.
Other factories however kill their employees with poisonous illegal chemicals that make iphones cheaper.
It is propaganda, like the whole of the channel.
Russian illegal migrant problem from Central Asia, for example, are exact mirror of the Mexican illegals in USA, except in Russia they have slightly more social security and there is simply less of them due to Russia being smaller than US both in population and economy. Yet US are not in the list while Russia is and it is above countries with literal slavery where people are being forced to work and sold.
Haven't seen whole of the videos but there's clear political bias toward China in development videos.
George Dang last part is proof we are largely on the wrong side lol
I too found it odd that China was listed as having one of the highest number of slaves, its definitely not as bad as countries like India or North Korea.
Saudis also hold Indian, Pakistani and Filipino workers basically as hostages and force them to work by confiscating their passports.
They are never able to return back because their passports are with their employers

This is about illegal slavery, but legal slavery exist too. Multinationals moved their businesess to low income countries for a reason, low wages and less regulation. They let people work for very low wages and for long hours, and in all those hours they earn just enough to eat. Technically those people ar no slaves, but they don't really have an option to quit. They work hard to just eat, while the company earns a lot of money from those products.
Compiled very nicely.
Glad you liked it
It's not slavery, if a person is ok with that.
DramaticChildTV In some places, shown in the video, there are hundreds of workers on the same factory. If they gad any problem with it, they would’ve revolted....
Also they are not working for free. They are well fed to keep working. Boss has no use for weak and hungry workers.
It doesn't matter if they're okay with it or not. As long as they're forced to work it's slavery.
@@CerealKiller2 Wikipedia: "However, and especially under slavery in broader senses of the word, slaves may have some rights and protections according to laws or customs."
Even if they don't like their job, they still do it, to be well fed and protected by their owner. How different is this from modern day jobs? You are dependent on your boss and work 8 hours a day to pay your bills. In army you have to live by the schedule the system forces onto you. In my country, if you have brother or sister, and are healthy enough, you have to go to army at least for an year. You can't refuse. Is it not like slavery for a year? In some European countries doctors do surgeries and give consultations for free, and they don't get refund from the government. Is not that also slavery?
Slavery does not have simple definition. Slavery varies from perspectives of different people.
The Egyptians who built the pyramids (which weren't all built at the same time) were not slaves, at least the majority anyway. It is a myth. The Egyptians were obsessed with the afterlife and the opportunity to build a resting place worthy of the 'great' Pharoahs (who were seen as living gods by a lot of them) was more than worth their time. It was a national construction project.
They also found evidence of materials for minting coins which suggests at least some of the workers were payed.
I've tried to tell people this for years. The Egyptians were necromongers much like you see in the " Riddick" movies . Jews always say they were forced to build the pyramids another lie !

The most effective chains are the ones you cannot see. The biggest problem for slaves is the slave mindset
Remember that slavery is about a lack of choice, not whatever people are paid or not. People do unpaid volunteer work and slaves can be paid. It is about the lack of choice.
