Labor exploitation refers to the unfair treatment of workers, where they are made to work under poor conditions, receive low wages, or face excessive hours without proper compensation. This often occurs in industries such as agriculture, manufacturing, and construction, where workers may lack legal protections or bargaining power. Workers who experience labor exploitation may be subjected to unsafe environments, denied breaks, or coerced into accepting unfavorable terms. Vulnerable populations, including migrants and low-income individuals, are particularly at risk. Organizations like the International Labour Organization aim to combat such practices and promote fair labor standards globally.
