Debt peonage
Debt peonage (wage slavery) is when an employer compels a worker to pay off a debt with work.
Debt peonage is a system in which individuals are forced to work to pay off a debt, often under conditions that make it nearly impossible to escape the cycle of indebtedness. This practice can lead to exploitation, as workers may be subjected to poor working conditions and minimal pay, effectively trapping them in a state of servitude. It has historical roots in various forms of coerced labor, notably in the United States after the Civil War, where it was used to control and exploit marginalized populations. Debt peonage is now considered a violation of human rights and is illegal in many countries.
The peonage system is a system of involuntary servitude used to pay off debt to creditors. The peonage system affected Latin America by encouraging slavery in Latin American countries.
to what does the term coed refer
Debt peonage refers to a condition where individuals are forced to work to pay off a debt, often under exploitative conditions. This practice effectively traps workers in a cycle of indebtedness, as the terms of repayment are often manipulated to ensure they can never fully pay off what they owe. Historically, it has been associated with agricultural labor and has been used as a means of controlling marginalized populations. Debt peonage is considered a form of modern-day slavery in many contexts.
