ILO predicts the number of people in 'working poverty' who earn less than $2 a day will rise to 1.4 billion, or 45% of world's labor force from 1.2 billion in 2007.
Free market, neoliberal style capitalism has NOT worked for the vast majority of the world's population, including the majority of workers in industrialized nations such as the U.S.
It is beyond sickening that 45% of the world's labor force exists on less than $2 a day.
Having travelled to Indonesia and Thailand, I can tell you that $2 a day is not survivable, even in relatively poor nations.
