This is the first edition of the
Global Slavery Index. It is the first Index of its kind – providing an
estimate, country by country, of the number of people living in modern slavery
today.
The Global Slavery Index 2013
measures the size of the modern slavery problem, country by country. The Index
provides a quantitative ranking of 162 countries around the world according to
the estimated prevalence of slavery, that is, the estimated percentage of
enslaved people in the national population at a point in time. The Global
Slavery Index also examines the risk factors and outlines the strength of the
government responses in the fight against modern slavery.
