'Indenture': labour for miserable reward, a fifth of all households.
- Authors

- Abstract
The article examines the proportion of population in Great Britain, United States, mainland Europe and Japan, which are affected by indentured labor, the semi-slavery where people are bound to work for a time for others, and its causes and social implications. Based on studies, around a fifth of the population on average find it either difficult to manage or get by on their income which makes debt a necessity to keep going. It is discussed that modern indenture means curtailment of all kinds of choices from their work to the education of their children or owing debt to credit card companies and that the injustices against those indentured result from a rise in prejudice and that the rising indenture is caused by the rising inequality in societies.
