Yes. Poor people migrate to where they think the work is. They're often exploited. Sometimes they're exploited by criminal gangs. Sometimes, if they're lucky, they'll get a low-paid job with excessive hours and poor conditions. (http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/24/the-ieconomy-ho...) Note that Apple is demanding that Foxconn complies with Apple's policy for overtime - that workers earning about $18 per day must not work more than 60 hours a week. Unless it's an emergency. Or an unusual situation. It's unfortunate that the concentration is almost entirely on Foxconn, because there are worse factories in China. |
