Slavery
Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture,
purchase, or birth; and can also be deprived of the right to leave, to
refuse to work, or to demand compensation. Historically, slavery was
institutionally recognized by many societies. In more recent times
slavery has been outlawed in most societies, but continues through the
practices of debt bondage, indentured servitude, serfdom, domestic
servants kept in captivity, certain adoptions in which children are forced
to work as slaves, child soldiers, and forced marriage.
Slavery predates written records and has existed in many cultures. The
number of slaves today is higher than at any point in history, remaining
as high as 12 million to 27 million. Most are debt slaves, largely in
South Asia, who are under debt bondage incurred by lenders,
sometimes even for generations.
Caste Systems
Class Systems

In a class system, occupation is not fixed at birth. Though family and
other societal models help guide a person toward a career, personal
choice plays a role. Class systems are by far the most open, meaning
they have the most vertical mobility.
