Bonded labour occurs when the parents of a child accept a small loan (+/-$10) in exchange for their child's labour. Bonded children are exploited, working 10-14 hours/day, seven days a week. They are forced into tedious and treacherous labour. In India, children trafficked in the bidiindustry roll 1500 bidis a day while sitting hunched over on concrete. Children in the silk industry scald their hands in boiling vats when retrieving silkwormcocoons. Since the lendor makes it impossible to earn enough to pay off the loan, the children are entrapped and exploited for years. Sometimes a family bonds all members (father, mother, children) in exchange for a larger loan ($1000). The children receive no education and when older, often suffer from severe physical disabilities caused by the conditions under which they were exploited.

Unfree labour is a generic or collective term for forms of work, especially in modern or early modern history, in which adults and/or children are employed against their will by the threat of destitution, detention, violence (including death), or other extreme hardship to themselves, or to members of their families.
Unfree labour is often more easily instituted and enforced on migrant workers, who have travelled far from their homelands and who are easily identified because of their physical, ethnic or cultural differences to the general population, since they are unable or unlikely to report their conditions to the authorities.
A more common form in modern society is indenture, or bondedlabour, under which workers sign contracts to work for a specific period of time, for which they are paid only with accommodation and sustenance, or these essentials in addition to limited benefits such as cancellation of a debt, or transportation to a desired country.
