摘要

债役,又称债务奴役,已成为许多发展中经济体的主要债役形式。在巴基斯坦,尽管法律禁止债务质役,但这种做法却得到了社会上有影响力的一部分人的支持。这一现象深深植根于政府失灵、专制治理结构、普遍存在的社会不平等以及特定社区的系统性边缘化。本研究使用一个独特的数据集来仔细研究巴基斯坦债务劳役的统计动态。利用考克斯比例危险模型,我们调查了巴基斯坦个人求助于债役的可能性。我们的分析发现了一系列与债役受害者的概况和家庭背景密切相关的关键因素。这些决定因素包括继承的家庭财富、严重的健康危机、不可预见的灾难性事件、家庭收入水平、教育程度、受抚养人的负担以及嫁妆义务的财务影响。此外,我们的研究还阐明了劳动力市场中的经济边缘化与债务质役合同所强调和加剧的工资差距之间的重要关联。

The Dynamics of Debt Bondage in Pakistan: Causes and Consequences

The Dynamics of Debt Bondage in Pakistan: Causes and Consequences

Bonded labor, also known as debt slavery, has emerged as the predominant form of debt bondage in numerous developing economies. In the context of Pakistan, despite its legal prohibition, the practice is supported by an influential segment of society. This phenomenon is deeply rooted in a matrix of governmental failure, autocratic governance structures, pervasive social inequalities, and the systemic marginalization of specific communities. This study uses a distinctive dataset to scrutinize the statistical dynamics of bonded labor in Pakistan. Utilizing the Cox proportional hazards model, we investigate the likelihood of individuals resorting to debt bondage in Pakistan. Our analysis identifies a constellation of critical factors intimately linked with the profiles and household backgrounds of individuals entangled in debt bondage. These determinants encompass inherited familial wealth, acute health crises, unforeseeable catastrophic occurrences, household income levels, educational attainment, the burden of dependents, and the financial implications of dowry obligations. Furthermore, our research elucidates a significant association between the economic marginalization within labor markets and the wage disparities underscored and exacerbated by debt bondage contracts.

期刊介绍: Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (FJHSS) is a peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes research papers across all academic disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. The Journal aims to promote multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary studies, bridge diverse communities of the humanities and social sciences in the world, provide a platform of academic exchange for scholars and readers from all countries and all regions, promote intellectual development in China’s humanities and social sciences, and encourage original, theoretical, and empirical research into new areas, new issues, and new subject matters. Coverage in FJHSS emphasizes the combination of a “local” focus (e.g., a country- or region-specific perspective) with a “global” concern, and engages in the international scholarly dialogue by offering comparative or global analyses and discussions from multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary perspectives. The journal features special topics, special issues, and original articles of general interest in the disciplines of humanities and social sciences. The journal also invites leading scholars as guest editors to organize special issues or special topics devoted to certain important themes, subject matters, and research agendas in the humanities and social sciences.
