62
/ 100
Mostly True
There are over 27 million slaves today, more than at any other time in history.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (62/100).
The claim that there are over 27 million slaves today is supported by multiple sources, including the International Labour Organization, which estimates 27.6 million people in forced labor. However, the claim that this is more than at any other time in history is more complex. Historical comparisons are difficult due to varying definitions and data availability. While modern estimates are high, historical slavery was widespread and not always documented in the same way. Therefore, the claim about historical comparison lacks strong evidence and is more speculative.
