In Europe, several changes contributed to a decline in the desire to become indentured servants. Economic opportunities improved as countries experienced growth and increased labor demand, leading to better wages for free laborers. Additionally, rising awareness of the harsh conditions and the exploitative nature of indentured servitude discouraged many from pursuing this path. Social mobility and the availability of land in some regions also made independence more attainable, further decreasing the appeal of indentured servitude.
