Other traditional settings for company towns were where extractive industries — coal, metal mines, corporate timber — had purchased a monopoly franchise. Dam sites and war-industry camps founded other company towns. Since company stores tend to have a monopoly in company towns, it was not uncommon for truck systems to emerge in isolated company towns. ...more on Wikipedia about "Company town"

Where children have to work due to debt bondage, this is considered a worst form of child labor. ...more on Wikipedia about "Debt bondage"
