Global estimates of modern slavery : forced labour and forced marriage International Labour Organization (ILO), Walk Free, and International Organization for Migration (IOM - Geneva, Switzerland : International Labour Organization, 2022 - electronic document (144 pages) ; PDF file

The 2021 Global Estimates indicate there are 50 million people in situations of modern slavery on any given day, either forced to work against their will or in a marriage that they were forced into. This number translates to nearly one of every 150 people in the world. The estimates also indicate that situations
of modern slavery are by no means transient – entrapment in forced labour can last years, while in most cases forced marriage is a life sentence. And sadly, the situation is not improving. The 2021 Global Estimates show that millions more
men, women, and children have been forced to work or marry in the period since the previous estimates were released in 2017. (From the Executive summary). Record #7880
