According to the DFID/DAI report on modern slavery in Pakistan (August 2019), workers in brick kilns are often subjected to bonded labor and debt bondage. Many of these workers are under-educated and lack economic mobility, and are recruited through brokers or middlemen and subjected to high levels of control and pressure to meet quotas.
