Record 2 2010-08-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Working Practices and Conditions
CONT

In a considerable number of civilizations, an insolvent debtor either became his creditor's slave or could be sold by the latter to a third person. Usually the condition arose from a pledge by a debtor of his personal services, or those of a person under his control, as security for a loan. The main feature of such an arrangement is that the value of services furnished is not applied toward the liquidation of the debt. Consequently the individual pledged has practically no hope ever to escape his servile condition.

OBS

The term "bonded labor" was confirmed as a synonym by the Office of International Affairs, Labour Canada.
