Kiln Industry Analysis

1063 Words5 Pages

Introduction
Pakistan is the third largest brick producing country in South Asia, home to more than 18,000 brick kilns and an estimated 4.5 million workers (Business Recorder). Being a third world, developing country, Pakistan has increased investment on commercial produce for hopes of a higher gross domestic product, increasing industrial infrastructure on the way. With brickmaking being an easily accessible job for many poor societies, many Pakistanis have joined the industry for financial support, but while this may serve as a job, a majority 90% of the employees are forced to work under bonded labour, defined to be “the loss of freedom (by a person or his/her family) to change employment, or work for low or no wages for a person who has …show more content…

Ayesha Aftab, a member of the HURIGHTS, published a paper, Rights of Bonded Laborers at Brick Kilns:A Social Protection Perspective from Pakistan, describing the kiln industry to “host a major concentration of grassroots and provide a source of livelihood to the poorest sections” (Aftab, 1). His research addresses the economic benefits of brick-making and the importance purpose it may play for workers, aiding developing areas of Pakistan financially. He defends bonded labour in kilns as a result of the lack of interest from governments and international funding committees. From his survey of thirty households, Aftab established that kiln workers have not been approached by microfinance companies, companies which provide financial services and support to low-income groups. With the average debt per family to be around $1,000 and the average daily household wage to be $11, workers are not able to fully pay their loan, thus Aftab urges the momentum of institutional reforms and financial aid. Because the kiln industry accommodates for 3% of Pakistan's GDP, HURIGHTS wishes to utilize this as a means of improving the country's current economic state, which …show more content…

With a share of 3% of Pakistan’s total GDP, the industry may be able to leverage their money and influence the legislature, but in all means this shows the importance and necessity of the kiln industry. The weight of the pros and cons of Pakistan’s kiln industry cannot be properly judged unless kiln owners open contact with the international financial institutions, such as World Band, which include global partnerships and the record of businesses. To justify either side without knowledge on specific facets of the kiln industry will be ineffectual and improbable, but in current stances, the kiln industry could be maneuvered to provide accommodation and financial support to the

  • Pros And Cons Of Fire Mining In Ontario And Canada

    1298 Words  | 6 Pages

    The Ontario government believes that the minerals in the Northern Ontario Ring of Fire should be mined because of the positive impact the process will have on the First Nations, the long and short term economic benefits for the region and the country and the preparations that the government is going to make to carry out the project in a responsible way. Government consultation with members of the tribes of the First Nations have shown that these tribes believe mining should proceed because of the many positive effects on their communities. They are asking for four main assurances for the Ring of Fire mining to occur. These include: having the transport routes and mining site locations reviewed by them to protect their cultural sites; training for the jobs and economic support during the training; a percentage of the jobs that are created in the region; and proper waste management. The government is willing to work with the First Nations to ensure that

    The Industrial Revolution was a point in the mid 1700’s where machine made goods were greatly increased in England.

  • Jim Quintero's Steel Case Study

    1) Identify aspects of Jim Quintero’s management style according to the four main management theories (Classical, Behavioral, Systems, and Contingency). While most organizations can more than likely identify at least some aspects from each of the four management theories, Quintero’s steel company identifies most with the Behavioral Approach with aspects of the Systems and Contingency Approach blending together in my opinion. Not having much detail on Cool Steel Company’s (CSC) organizational structural it is difficult to determine how much management falls under the Classical Approach, but seeing there are managers (not first-level supervisors) and reviewing Henri Fayol’s general principals, one can assume a structure of sorts. There are several examples of the Behavioral Approach (e.g., trusting, respect, responsibility…) that will be covered in more detail in response to question number two. It is clear that CSC’s success would be in line with the practices described in the cooperative system outlined in the Systems Approach and by virtue of employees being given the ability or responsibility to make decisions; the Contingency Approach can be applied.

    It is an obvious truth that in order to have a functioning society, there must be workers. In modern, first world countries, labors are paid well and are reasonably treated. However, some third world nations use an economic model harkening back to older times—slavery and serfdom. Between 1450 and 1750, European countries in the Caribbean and in the Old World utilized two forms of cheap labor—slavery and serfdom—to line their coffers and feed their populace. In the Caribbean, slavery was preferred; but in Russia, serfdom ruled.
