Cameron Sinclair: The refugees of boom-and-bust (script)
Summary
Boom-and-bust cycle refers to economic fluctuations that the expansion is rapid and the contraction is severe.
The speaker is an architect and he was rewarded with the TED prize in 2006. His wish was to help more people to improve global living by connecting and working with designers around the world. He really supports the designers and construction companies though he knew the issue of workers rights in the construction industry. In the UAE, for blinding skyscrapers, many migrants went there to make money for their families, but now more than 300 skyscrapers have been put on hold or cancel. When some constructors have gone bust by the financial collapse that happened, the workers lost their all lives, documentation, passport, and tickets for going home. There is no way to come back home. In fact, before when they have worked there, they had to live in poor areas where there is no water, no air conditioner and even no payment of wages.
And then, he surprisingly said that on this issue, there's no other road. We have to think about the new system that they can work well like you worry about your job. They are paying the price of this financial collapse. We shouldn't forget it.
