HOLY SEE: MGR. TOMASI TO ILO, "DOZENS OF MILLIONS" OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD DO NOT HAVE A "DECENT JOB"

"Dozens of millions" of people in the world do not have a "decent job", because they are left out of the "benefits" of the increasing globalisation. The alarm comes from mgr. Silvano Tomasi, permanent observer of the Holy See to the International Labour Organisation (ILO) that over these days is taking part in the 95th session of the Conference of the UN body in Geneva. "Migrants with no papers working in agriculture, crafts, as servants; women in the textile industry who work in unhealthy conditions and earn a pittance; workers discriminated by race, caste or religion and confined to menial jobs in places where there’s no upward mobility at all; exploited workers in export areas and all over the world, underpaid workers who have to work harder and harder to gain a decent salary". It’s a long list, the one made by the delegate of the Holy See who highlighted that "the liberalisation of finance and trade and the increasing globalisation process have produced great wealth but a large amount of evidence shows increasing inequality between and within the countries in reaping the benefits of this increasing wealth". "Too many people are left out" of this process because they are "indecently exploited or driven out of work", this is the denunciation of the Holy See, which concerns "dozens of millions" of people scattered all over the world".
