1. The types of labour are Child Labor, Migrant Labor, Bondage Labor and Trafficking Labor.
2. He emphasized most importantly on the topic of Bondage Labor.
3. Bondage means loss of freedom to take rational decision. The markets are getting inter-locked in case of
bondage labour.
4. Poverty, especially indebtedness, has led to the degenerated system of bondage.
5. Under neo-bondage a short-term loan at higher is taken, failure to repay which creates a vicious circle of
debt and bondage.
6. Cause of Neo Bondage is distress migration. Distress-migration is poverty induced.
7. The real problems of female migrants or left-behind female who take care of their homes should be
considered and they should get different kind of facilities from Govt.
8. Identification and registration of migrant workers should be done in a proper way for their improvements.
