There’s literally no country where it’s de jure legal now, and fairly few where it’s legal in practice. Compare this to any number of historical societies where they were the majority.
Modern slavery includes forced labor, bonded labor, trafficked people, and child labor - it’s analogous to chattel style historic slavery in that the conditions are similar.
Current estimates are 50m people living in these conditions today, vastly more than at any time in human history.
I imagine any number of slaves would disagree with you on the downtime.
Is slavery less common today ?
Is that an actual question?
yes. Maybe look into it.
About .6% of the world is considered as living in modern slavery.
In say, the feudal era, that percentage would be some 70 or 80 times higher.
Maybe you should do some reading?
Sure but …
The number of slaves extant today is far greater than at any time in history.
Yes, vastly.
