Which of the following is not considered a kind of Modern Slavery?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Begin by listing the concepts involved in the question: identifying which option does not fit as a form of Modern Slavery.
Option 1: Forced labour. This is a classic and widely recognized form of modern slavery where individuals are coerced to work under threat, coercion, or deceit, and without proper freedom to leave. It clearly belongs to the category of modern slavery.
Option 2: Debt bondage. In debt bondage, a person’s labor is used to repay a debt that may be manipulated or impossible to fully repay, effectively trapping the person in servitude. This is a well-established form of modern slavery.
Option 3: Payment of very low wages. While extremely unethical and exploitative, paying very low wages alone does not automatically meet the legal or definitional criteria of modern slavery, which involve coercion, lack of freedom, debt bondage, or forced marriage. Low wages can occur in legitimate employment relationships and do not by themselves constitute slavery.
Option 4: Forced marriage. Forcing someone to marry against their will is another recognized form of modern slavery, as it involves coercion and the deprivation of autonomy, often with severe social and economic control.
To compare the options, the first, second, and fourth choices describe conditions where individuals are deprived of freedom and coerced into labor or marriage, matching standard definitions of modern slavery. The third option describes exploitation or impoverishment in pay, but without the element of coercion or bondage that defines modern slavery in the strict sense. Therefore, it does not fit the established categories of modern slavery as directly as the others.
In summary, the incorrect choices exemplify coercive or binding conditions associated with modern slavery, whereas the third option denotes wage exploitation without the coercive framework that characterizes modern slavery.
