Forced labour - definition of Forced labour in Encyclopedia (1043 words) |
 | 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 without wages, or for a minimal wage. |
| 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. |
| Serfs are sometimes referred to as unfree labourers, although there are a number of reasons why they are usually excluded: in general, serfdom has usually occurred in pre-modern societies or societies undergoing a rapid modernisation or industrialisation, or it has been a relic of those societies. |

| 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. |
| Another historically significant example of forced labour was that of political prisoners, people from conquered or occupied countries, and prisoners of war, especially during the 20th century. |
