Can anyone put some of these figures into perspective? How many injuries per worker and per dollar are there in the iDevice supply chain vs. 1950's american manufacturing, present day american manufacturing, other electronic manufactures?
- glenra 15y agoFoxConn has about half a million workers in Shenzhen, which means if you just go by the cases we've heard about, the documented injuries-per-worker rate (and the suicide rate) seems to be unusually low. Less than that for most US cities, most chinese cities, most US colleges. In order to think the overall accident rate or suicide rate among these workers is unusually bad, I think one needs to bring in additional assumptions to the effect that what we see is just "the tip of the iceberg".
