Summary

Modern slavery occurs in almost every country in the world and cuts across ethnic, cultural, and religious lines. 

More than half of all forced labor can be found in upper-class, or high-income countries.

According to the international labor organization, modern slavery affects every region of the world, and the number has risen significantly in the last five years. Even in wealthy countries, forced labor remains a major concern.
