Full List 167 Countries Modern Day Slavery Index India No. 1


Full List 167 Countries Modern Day Slavery Index India No. 1 

Australian billionaire Andrew Forrest's philanthropic NGO Walk Free has released its annual survey measuring slavery across the world.
As per media reports Mr. Forrest also discovered forced labour was being used in the supply chains for his company Fortescue Metals. He said he is not proud of this but "absolutely pleased" he was able to discover it and stop south Indian workers from making widgets for next to nothing.

As per walk free foundation estimate in 2016,45.8 million people are in some form of modern slavery in 167 countries

The 2016 Global Slavery Index estimates that 45.8 million people are subject to some form of modern slavery in the world today. The Index presents a ranking of 167 countries based on the proportion of the population that is estimated to be in modern slavery.

The countries with the highest estimated prevalence of modern slavery by the proportion of their population are North Korea, Uzbekistan, Cambodia, India, and Qatar. In North Korea, there is pervasive evidence that government-sanctioned forced labour occurs in an extensive system of prison labour camps while North Korean women are subjected to forced marriage and commercial sexual exploitation in China and other neighbouring states. In Uzbekistan, the government continues to subject its citizens to forced labour in the annual cotton harvest.

Those countries with the highest absolute numbers of people in modern slavery are India, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Uzbekistan. Several of these countries provide the low-cost labour that produces consumer goods for markets in Western Europe, Japan, North America and Australia.

The countries with the lowest estimated prevalence of modern slavery by the proportion of their population are Luxembourg, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, Austria, Sweden and Belgium, the United States and Canada, and Australia and New Zealand. These countries generally have more economic wealth, score higher on government response, have low levels of conflict, and are politically stable with a willingness to combat modern slavery.

If you look at the % India is not the No. 1, but I agree it still fares poorly. This is breaking slowly but surely, and let's hope that slavery in any form will be a distant memory soon.
