PEONAGE

Giải nghĩa:

/ˈpiːənɪdʒ/ – Noun


Definition: bắt buộc phải làm lao đồng nghĩa vụ để trừ nợ.

A more thorough explanation: Peonage is a form of involuntary servitude where a person is forced to work in order to pay off a debt or obligation. It is illegal under U.S. federal law and is considered a violation of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude.

Example: The employer was charged with engaging in peonage by forcing workers to remain in servitude through debt bondage.
