What is another word for bonded labor?
Pronunciation: [bˈɒndɪd lˈe͡ɪbə] (IPA) 
Bonded labor refers to a type of forced labor in which individuals are bound to work for their employer in exchange for a loan or debt. This practice is also known as debt bondage and is considered a form of modern-day slavery. Synonyms for bonded labor include indentured servitude, debt slavery, serfdom, and peonage. These terms all describe the same fundamental concept, in which an individual's labor is controlled by a creditor or employer. Despite being illegal in most countries, bonded labor remains a significant problem in many industries, particularly in developing countries where poverty rates are high and labor laws are weakly enforced.
