Debt bondage known as debt slavery or bonded labour, is the pledge of a person's services as security for the repayment for a debt or other obligation, where the terms of the repayment are not or reasonably stated, the person, holding the debt and thus has some control over the laborer. Freedom is assumed on debt repayment; the services required to repay the debt may be undefined, the services' duration may be undefined, thus allowing the person owed the debt to demand services indefinitely. Debt bondage can be passed on from generation to generation. Debt bondage is the most common method of enslavement with an estimated 8.1 million people bonded to labour illegally as cited by the International Labour Organization in 2005. Debt bondage has been described by the United Nations as a form of "modern day slavery" and the Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery seeks to abolish the practice; the practice is still prevalent in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, although most countries in these regions are parties to the Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery.

It is predicted. Lack of prosecution or insufficient punishment of this crime are the leading causes of the practice as it exists at this scale today. Though the Forced Labour Convention of 1930 by the International Labour Organization, which included 187 parties, sought to bring organised attention to eradicating slavery through forms of forced labor, formal opposition to debt bondage in particular came at the Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery in 1956; the convention in 1956 defined debt bondage under Article 1, section:"Debt bondage, to say, the status or condition arising from a pledge by a debtor of his personal services or of those of a person under his control as security for a debt if the value of those services as reasonably assessed is not applied towards the liquidation of the debt or the length and nature of those services are not limited and defined. When the bonded labourer dies, debts are passed on to children. Although debt bondage, forced labour, human trafficking are all defined as forms or variations of slavery, each term is distinct.

Debt bondage differs from forced labour and human trafficking in that a person consciously pledges to work as a means of repayment of debt without being placed into labor against will. Debt bondage only applies to individuals who have no hopes of leaving the labor due to inability to pay debt back; those who offer their services to repay a debt and the employer reduces the debt accordingly at a rate commensurate with the value of labor performed are not in debt bondage. Important to both East and West Africa, defined by Wilks as "the use of people in transferring their rights for settlement of debt," was common during the 17th century; the system of pawnship occurred with the slave trade in Africa. Though the export of slaves from Africa to the Americas is analyzed, slavery was rampant internally as well. Development of plantations like those in Zanzibar in East Africa reflected the need for internal slaves. Furthermore, many of the slaves that were exported were male as brutal and labor-intensive conditions favored the male body build.

This created gender implications for individuals in the pawnship system as more women were pawned than men and sexually exploited within the country. After the abolition of slavery in many countries in the 19th century, Europeans still needed laborers. Moreover, conditions for emancipated slaves were harsh. Discrimination was rampant within the labor market, making attainment of a sustainable income for former slaves tough; because of these conditions, many freed slaves preferred to live through slavery-like contracts with their masters in a manner parallel to debt bondage. During the colonial history of the United States, persons bonded themselves to an owner who paid their passage to the New World, they worked until the debt of passage was paid off for years. In Peru, a peonage system existed from the 16th century until land reform in the 1950s. One estate in Peru that existed from the late 16th century until it ended had up to 1,700 people employed and had a prison, they were expected to work for their landlord a minimum of three days a week and more if necessary to complete assigned work.

Workers were paid a symbolic two cents per year. Workers were unable to travel outside their assigned lands without permission and were not allowed to organise any independent community activity. In the Peruvian Amazon, debt peonage is an important aspect of contemporary Urarina society. In the 19th century, people in Asia were bonded to labor due to a variety of reasons ranging from farmers mortgaging harvests to drug addicts in need for opium in China; when a natural disaster occurred or food was scarce, people willingly chose debt bondage as a means to a secure life. In the early 20th century in Asia, most laborers tied to debt bondage had been born into it. In certain regions, such as in Burma, debt bondage was far more common than slavery. Many went into bondage to pay off interest on a loan or to pay taxes, as they worked on farms, lodging and clothing fees were added to the existing debt causing overall debt and interest to increase; these continued added loan values made leaving servitude unattainable.

Moreover, after the development of the international economy, more workers were needed for the pre-industrial economies of Asia during the 19th century. A greater demand for
