On muddy beaches in Asia -- in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, China -- most of the world's ships are taken apart. Worked on by hundreds of unprotected and often inadequately trained workers, they quickly become piles of scrap steel and parts.
Scrapping ships is one of the most work-intensive and dangerous jobs there is. All in all, the highly hazardous shipbreaking industry -- including all branches with a direct link to the scrapping operations -- employs over 160,000 workers in India alone.
IMF and its affiliates are working together to improves the lives of shipbreaking workers.
Amazing that they're working around scrap and steel barefooted

Sadly this is the asshole of the world because this is where everyone takes their shit. I can only hope this industry will help this country out of the abject poverty I witnessed while there.

Buddy at the end is kidding himself if he thinks he can make it safe work and still keep the industry in India...
If India is too good for this kind of job and hopefully one day it will be...
Africa beckons for it.
