Yes, most laborers are working off a debt to their agent. Confiscating passports is technically illegal, but very common in practice. Safety regulations are tighter than in the Middle East, although still lax by the standards of most other developed countries. People can report labor rights violations to the government, which sometimes even investigates them and takes action. But they are mostly content to turn a blind eye unless something is very egregious, and labor rights NGOS are understaffed and underfunded. And strikes are effectively illegal. Unlike in the Middle East you can leave the country without your employer's permission, but this might be easier said than done in a lot of cases. So, more indentured servitude than slavery. Still not great.
