Indentured Labor Migration

Indentured Labor Migration is a historical labor system in which individuals entered into contractual agreements to work for a specified period in foreign colonies, typically in plantation economies, in exchange for passage, sustenance, and sometimes wages, distinguishing it from both slave labor and voluntary free labor through its legally binding, temporary, and often coercive transnational character.
