Forced labor involves individuals being coerced to work against their will, often under threat of punishment, without ownership of their person. In contrast, chattel slavery is a legal status where individuals are treated as property, bought and sold, with no personal rights or autonomy. While both involve exploitation and a lack of freedom, chattel slavery is characterized by permanent bondage and dehumanization, whereas forced labor can occur in various contexts without the same legal ownership aspect.
