Answer» bondage in India or Bandhua Mazdoori (बंधुआ मज़दूरी) was legally abolished in 1976 but remains prevalent due to weak enforcement by the government.[1] Bonded labour is a system in which lenders force their BORROWERS to repay loans through LABOR.[1] Additionally, these debts often take a LARGE amount of time to pay off and are unreasonably high, propagating a cycle of generational inequality.[2] This is due to the typically high INTEREST rates on the loans given out by employers.[3] Although debt bondage is considered to be a voluntary form of labor, people are forced into this system by social situations. |
