Michael Hardner Posted October 1, 2015 Report Posted October 1, 2015 Cell phone connections per 100 citizens, Bangladesh, 80.55 Wikipedia After the Rana Plaza disaster, the Current (CBC Radio) did a piece on the factors behind the incident. Labour activists do not generally call for trade sanctions in these situations, but have called for - and received to a degree - safety guidelines as a basis for doing business with chains such as Joe Fresh, Walmart and so on. In the piece, the fact that women are now working in factories was pointed out as a major social change in Bangladeshi society and a factor in the fact that birth rates are declining - about 50% in 30 years (1980-2010 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Bangladesh ) Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner
