This word comes from Pakistan, but that country is not the only place where this practice occurs. In Pakistan, there is something called "debt bondage," where parents who are in debt and very poor sell their children to businesses, to work off the debt. The children are paid slave wages, expected to work long hours, and are often treated badly, but the parents get some of the money they need to pay their debts, while their child or children then work to pay off the money that the parents were given. This practice of giving an advance on the debt is called "peshgi." I enclose a link about this system of bonded labor.
