Posted by Nilet on Thu Aug 21 04:55:10 2014, in response to Global Slavery Index 2013—anyone read it?, posted by Olog-hai on Thu Aug 21 04:14:52 2014. At an estimated 29.8 million enslaved, it's the highest number in history.At an estimated 7 billion, we've got the highest population in history. The prevalence of slavery (ie, the percentage of the population which is enslaved) is at an all-time low. That said, I'd like to see exactly how they define slavery. Thanks to your conservative friends' War On Drugs, a full 1% of America's population is in prison and a substantial percentage of American prisoners are subjected to forced labour— is that counted? |
