Why do scholars think slavery started?

Modern slavery is a multibillion-dollar industry with just the forced labor aspect generating US $150 billion each year. The Global Slavery Index (2018) estimated that roughly 40.3 million individuals are currently caught in modern slavery, with 71% of those being female, and 1 in 4 being children.

Explanation:

More than 70% of the 4.8 million sex exploitation victims are in the Asia and Pacific region. Forced marriage is most prevalent in Africa. But there isn't a single country that isn't tainted by slavery: 1.5 million victims are living in developed countries, with an estimated 13,000 enslaved here in the UK.
