==== Domestic labour ==== After countries began to formally abolish slavery, unemployment was rampant for black people in [[South Africa]] and [[Nigeria]] pushing black women to work as domestic workers, largely to other black people.<ref name=":15" /><ref name=":10">{{Cite journal|last1=Seedat-Khan|first1=Mariam|last2=Gunasekharan|first2=Dharmaraja|title=A New Form of Bonded Labour: A Comparative Study between Domestic Workers of South Africa and India|url=http://www.krepublishers.com/06-Special%20Volume-Journal/JSSA-00-Special%20Volume/JSSA-SV-04-14-Singh-Anand/JSSA-SV-04-057-031-14-Seedat/JSSA-SV-04-057-031-14-Seedat-Tx[5].pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220064508/http://www.krepublishers.com/06-Special%20Volume-Journal/JSSA-00-Special%20Volume/JSSA-SV-04-14-Singh-Anand/JSSA-SV-04-057-031-14-Seedat/JSSA-SV-04-057-031-14-Seedat-Tx%5b5%5d.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=2016-12-20|journal=Journal of Sociology and Social Anthropology|volume=6}}</ref> Currently, estimates from the [[International Labour Organization]] state that between 800,000 and 1.1 million domestic workers are in South Africa.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ilo.org/global/topics/domestic-workers/lang--en/index.htm|title=Domestic workers (Domestic workers)|website=www.ilo.org|language=en|access-date=2016-10-28}}</ref> Many of these domestic servants become bonded to labor in a process similar to other industries in Asia.<ref name=":10" /> The wages given to servants are often so poor that loans are taken when servants are in need of more money, making it impossible to escape.<ref name=":10" /> The hours of working for [[Domestic worker|domestic servants]] are unpredictable, and because many servants are women, their young children are often left under the care of older children or other family members.<ref name=":15" /><ref name=":10" /> Moreover, these women can work up to the age of 75 and their daughters are likely to be servants in the same households.<ref name=":10" />
