Approximately 10.5 percent of North Korea's population, including migrant workers and human trafficking victims, are categorized as modern slaves, according to data by the Walk Free Foundation.

While this only amounts to roughly five percent of the total of estimated modern slaves worldwide, Statista's Florian Zandt shows in the chart below that only one other country comes close to this population share size.

With 9.0 percent or an estimated number of 320,000 modern slavesthe African country of Eritrea comes in second on the ranking analyzing data from 2021.
