  • In Italy, thousands of Indians are employed as cheap labor in the agriculture sector. It’s an exploitative system that includes human smuggling. The working conditions are inhumane. But they enable cheap vegetables in supermarkets.
    Some 30,000 people originally from India live in the province of Latina. Many do not have papers. Most work in one of the 10,000 local companies that produce wheat, fruit and wine. The conditions are often terrible, with working days lasting 14 hours - for three euros an hour. Many of the recruiters are themselves from India and they’ve developed a human trafficking scheme to bring more workers from India. They exploit the fact that many Indians are hoping to escape poverty at home. A report by Margherita Bettoni, Naomi Conrad and Aasim Saleem.

      Weet Bix That’s the Sikh community from Panjab, India.
      They’re one of the most kindest, most generous and hard working people on earth.
      They are fiercely independent and will not accept any government welfare even if it was offered to them.
      They believe in earning their money through hard work.
      Please, if you’re Italian, instead of hating them, try meeting and talking with them and you’ll realise these guys are not a liability on your economy but rather an asset.
      You can find Sikhs in all fields of expertise, from lawyers and doctors to builders, plumbers etc, not to mention, the Sikh community being largely agricultural are great farmers and excellent soldiers, check out their military history.

      Italy will be the next greece or even worse the next africa even north italy (the richest region) is becoming poor lot of italians goes abroad to find a normal life. Today even foreigners are escaping moreover the youngers once they get italian citizenship they leave and they are right to find work. in italy finding work was and will be difficult. When you have companies who goes in eastern europe to pay less taxes and pay low salaries, when you have stupid politicians who earns more than 16000 euros net and they dont give a f...k about their Citizens and businesses, When they do contracts jobs of one week, one month(if you are lucky)even if you work harder they will fire you, when there is no dialogue between institutions politics and moreover Citizens then is not more a democratic and normal country. When i see immigrants coming to italy i feel very sorry for them because i know 100% lot of them will do a life even worse than the slaves immigrants thinks italy is europe is a riche country everyone can have this everyone will be rich. My friends italy is no more the richer country before 2008. italy is finished forever in 10 years in italy there will be more older people than youngers. If someone wants to go to italy should know from now that some parts only some parts of north italy can find a temporary solution what i mean? I mean that you stay 10 years or more just to do your european documents and after simply leave there are no job opportunities no more. I remember before 2008 how life was good finding work was good and easy. But today is becoming very hard even for italians. If italians goes abroad to look for a job then there is a reason they are not crazy peoples who suddenly wakes up and say today i go to germany today i go to switzerland today i go to sweden today i go to uk today i go to usa to denmark ti belgium . Have a good day people and never back down.( i left italy 2 years ago and i am more than happy today) good luck.

      A worse predicament would be the aging population outstripping the work force. Lower birth rates come naturally with increased standard of living. if you artificially accelerate this process, then you run into the problem that china will have in the coming decades: a large retired population that collects pension and adds strain to the economy, and a smaller young population that cannot support that strain.

      Did you know that China has planned to deploy 200,000 industrial robots per year starting 2020? The robots will replace labors. This is part of industrial 4.0, China calls that made in China 2025. This new industrial revolution will use Al, automation, computer and networking to replace human labor. China has begun layoff in Chinese industrial heartland. Being a communist country, the country offers generous severance package and unemployment benefits to displaced workers. India had missed the last 3 industrial revolutions. There are absolutely no sign that, under Modi gov, india is doing anything to join this new one.
      In this new age industrial revolution, huge population is a liability, not an asset.

      This is a simplistic argument. India is the largest country in the world by arable land, which is a more important measure of land area when counting population. It's just that India doesn't have large areas of desert/wasteland/unarable land like other countries of similar scale. Comparison with US is meaningless.

And to the people saying Indians don't want to leave other countries, to them I would recommend seeing the latest findings which say Indian community is the richest and most prosperous community in the US. So Indians not only work for themselves but ​also help in the growth of the country in which they work.

    Punjabi people are certainly better-off (financially) then the rest of India. These guys in the video are doing this back-breaking work in Italian fields not because of poverty in India but in the hope of getting a residence permit in Europe.
    For example: the sikh man in the documentary says that he had to sell his family gold jewellery to get to Italy. He sold #Gold??? Really!!! That's a poor man in your opinion???
    Poor people in India don't have gold. Average people do, i.e. middle-to-lower middle income group. probably he is from a lower middle class. Certainly he is no poor man. His goal is emigration. Period.

      Considering the fact that you have to spend way more for basic resources in italy than in India his quality of life in italy won't differ much from what he has in india. One of his main reasons to work in italy must be remittance.

The judicial system is the slowest on earth - in the meanwhile, the common man fighting against corporate greed has no - monthly unemployment benefits, no government housing, no free healthcare or education. How can such a man fight?
      A reasonably-good, middle-class salaried man in India pays 30% of his income in taxes and gets squat in return. All his money for 60+ years has been squandered away by politicians in caste politics - which, even the so-called castes that they politicians claim to support, don't get.
      There are 3 problems that is making lives difficult in India:
      1- Overpopulation
      2- Middle and lower-level government officers
      3- The Bureaucracy
      Politicians don't decide policies; they only direct; the policies, rules, and systems are made by the Bureaucracy who are the functioning force behind the government system. They have vested interest in keeping the system as it is.

      Good point these big farming companies want to drive small local farmers out of business to buy the farmland and import cheap labor. In the past like your grandfather did people could make a living being small farmers. All the EU regulations now make it very hard for them to sell.

    I am italian and i used to work for 2.5 euros per hour, 6 days a week, sometimes 7,in the kitchen, and suning summer ,i dont even want to remember how hot it was. Regardless of that ,nobody has ever Made an interview or documentary of me or the ones like me, because se are italian and not foreigners. So we dont really count as much, we wouldn't produce any audience. So please lets not talk about racism, whoever mentiones that, is or wants to be blind folded.
