Today in class we watched a video on India. It showed some jobs that India has, such as construction workers. If you are unskilled or illiterate you can have a job as a construction worker. You can carry bricks on your head. You get paid 2.50 a day. The mall of India, they are building one right next to an Industrial park. It will be the biggest mall and all of India. It is actually up now. This is the type of job and payment you would get if you didn't have an education.
There are illegal buildings all over the poverty of India. People who can not afford well built, safe buildings have to live in here because they are the only affordable housing around. Others are not available for rent. A building that was more than three stories and that were not built up to the expectations of the building codes, collapsed and killed many people. This should teach people a lesson. Especially the one responsible for doing this. He was arrested. The government told the poor people to evacuate all the buildings so thy would not collapse on them and many ended up homeless. (Mumbai) November 24th, 2010
