Tuttavia, i guadagni derivanti dalle aumentato le esportazioni di zucchero Europa e in altri mercati Africani hanno portato ben pochi benefici per la bassa qualit\u00e0 di lavoratori a Illovo Malawi.<\/strong>\u00a0Le cose sono particolarmente male per coloro che fanno il duro lavoro di canna da zucchero di taglio \u2013 la maggior parte dei quali sono impiegati come stagionali o lavoratori occasionali. Meno del cinquanta per cento di Illovo del Malawi forte di 10.000 totale della forza lavoro sono i lavoratori esterni \u2013 non sono coperti da assistenza sanitaria e garantiti salari.\u00a0Il reportage, a cura di Luca Catalano Gonzaga, mostra una serie di ritratti di questi lavoratori.\u00a0<\/strong>(testo a cura di Luca Catalano Gonzaga).<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

However, gains from increased sugar exports to Europe and other African markets have brought few benefits for low-grade workers at Illovo Malawi.\u00a0Things are particularly bad for those who do the backbreaking job of sugarcane cutting \u2013 most of whom are employed as seasonal or casual workers. Less than fifty percent of Illovo Malawi\u2019s 10,000-strong total workforce are outsourced workers \u2013 they are not covered by health care and guaranteed wages.\u00a0The reportage, by Luca Catalano Gonzaga, shows a series of portraits of these workers.\u00a0(text by Luca Catalano Gonzaga).
