Labor trafficking is a form of human trafficking that involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of individuals for the purpose of labor or services, through the use of force, coercion, or other means of deception. Labor trafficking can take many forms, including forced labor, debt bondage, and slavery. It can affect individuals of all ages and can occur in many different industries, including agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and domestic work.
