macroeconomics? more like little Britain. heavy parochial blinkers on here and missing the key skilled/non-skilled regional placement policies resulting in such:
Mr Jens Erik Ohrt worker-representative on the Committee on Freedom of Association brought a complaint under article 26 of the ILO Constitution against the Government of Qatar for widespread and systemic violation of the Forced Labour Convention, saying:
"There is no question that the nearly 1.5 million migrant workers in Qatar are today subject to a state system that facilitates forced labour, a fact that has been confirmed recently by: the UN Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants; the ILO supervisory system; human rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International; and major media outlets around the world. ...The labour inspection system is inadequate for the enormity of the problem, and workers have no effective access to a complaints system that provides justice when their rights are violated. Indeed, workers are dying at an alarming rate in Qatar, trapped and without any right to associate and defend their own interests." - Minutes from the International Labour Conference, Geneva, June 2014." -
In the future, could you add the slideshows the speakers are talking about? They are very interesting conferences but some content escapes if I can´t see the graphics. Thanks.
