Researchers used economic modeling and historical data to quantify this exploitation, aiming to foster understanding and reconciliation rather than demanding payment.
Research by international experts estimates that Barbados's population of African descent suffered damages of up to $2 trillion (£1.5tn) from 200 years of chattel slavery. The study quantifies stolen labour at $500bn-$700bn and stolen lifespans at $1.1tn-$1.3tn. Britain paid £20m in compensation to enslavers in 1834 but nothing to the enslaved. The findings support Caricom's reparations claims, though UK PM Keir Starmer has ruled out direct payments.
