Advancement of technological development creates new problems in ensuring working conditions

In Malawi, a large scale communications technology project is currently being implemented. This project will install fibre optics throughout the country. For less than a dollar a day, young male labourers have been working from dusk till dawn, digging a large ditch from the North all the way to the South of Malawi. These men, living in extreme poverty, will never have the money to make use of the communications technology that they are helping to install.
