Doesn't even need to be artificial or legal pressures, honestly. The simple nature of human existence means our needs are incredibly regular; as long as there are impoverished folk whose needs rely on the provision of payment for labor, they will always be faced with some form of leonine contract, though the severity can vary.
Legal pressures can definitely exacerbate it, though.
