sites or in farming, the number of international migrant workers has risen to 169000000 worldwide. they make up almost 5 percent of the global working population. that means they are a key components of the world economy. yet many of them work in temporary, informal, or unprotected jobs, often under dreadful conditions and for low wages. in portugal, for example, people come from near pole india, bangladesh and thailand to pick fruit in southern portugal for european supermarket chains. this is archive footage. the agricultural firms no longer want reporters, the farming associations, stone walled us, and local authorities also close their doors. they have a problem and it involves the foreign workers. thousands of them live around the small town of salty, tonio helping with the harvest position at it's totally over the top of the

me there in the majority. now, immunity vector or fox times, you get just 3 portuguese people walk. and by here, for every 20 migrants for better or for worse of the way they came, was definitely not well organized with no thought being given to local infrastructure . have been awfully non fabbing pizza through today, ma'am. so what makes portugal so attractive? john paul debtor from northern india has worked here for several years. he says portugal is a prime destination for many indians. maybe right now is the plus choice to our side in the northern side of the india. because outside of people, they mostly want to go in the gulf country and northern side, or people want to go in canada or europe and when they will come your put their 1st come to here in portugal. forgot the residency because he had a maybe one year, one and

a half year they will get portugal appears to be an express route into the european union. word got around and this region is now also attracting migrants who previously tried. they lock in denmark or germany like robbie bains, a baba from india. or you know i, i better live in germany about do i, are you, i just only problem bukasa germany in are yeah, no, i am a. are you have an opening machine now for working, you know, in germany yard because i was the only note a few. see that a few the, and my theses or what and are these people say you costio, you have to move to another country. so that's portugal, the parent open door comes at a price. many migrants pay thousands of euros to get here, but only earn between $600.00 and a 1000 heroes a month at most. they worked 6 days a week and always have to worry, they might not be paid, especially if they were hired by recruitment agency. if they were go 100

hours or 200 hours in the monthly sometime, they got panel was 50, nor was this a. okay. you have a mistake, are you not bare to wonder or what you want to get 100? if yo, us, and you sometime they got though money for insurance and a lot of things, they got the not very well because the migrants need to send money home to their families. they have to save wherever possible, especially on accommodation. john paul debt it shares the place with other workers away from the fields. he doesn't have his own room here for us. so support because the reason our leaving the company else, martin, the company else not would gary they have 0 privacy but the conditions aren't too bad. unlike the company accommodation, we visited a house in salty, tonio, that was full of beds. lots of workers have to squeeze in together to share the exorbitant rent. my stomach, my son, we play a 1000 euros,

a monster this all together. that is for last month there were 10 of us you. so we were able to pull out money to get the $1000.00 euros 1st mr. best versus the pursuit because they took those for somebody else. so there's a shortage of housing for migrant workers here. john paul debt, it says it's not new and has been a problem for years since this poor prior year. so i never seen are there, are there build a new house? is there? no, i just see one or 2 building here in our, our mcgarvey, b r. bob making a new building. brought up in this area. it's very difficult to find a house. the government in lisbon has finally decided to tackle the problem. new housing is to be built near the fields where the migrants work. it sounds like a solution. but local politician fatima his shera is outraged him by phone. she can

pick for 2 of you don't even put him at the analytical to so the supposed to live amongst the greenhouses. valdez is far away from the towns and villages far away from any one that could help them. if they fall victim to exploitation, reach him in and putting them out there is like ostracizing them. the mom of pharma, the thing that it is. so she says, not only people are being exploited, the environment is suffering too, because the number of greenhouse is, is rising, even though salty. tonio is in a conservation area, a 2017 study warned of dire consequences sort of the bush, this whole thought. oh, good. and despite that study, the law, the government gave its approval and 2019 for the area covered by the poly tunnels . these greenhouses that he's out to be tripled in size blast had he still filled the area along the coast line is supposed to be protected zone stretching 500 meters inland. but this rule doesn't apply to the greenhouses. the impact of their

unhindered growth can be seen at this reservoir, which supplies the farms. for a decade, its water level has been steadily dropping. the effects of the greenhouse fume are also being felt at the school insulted tonio. the entrance area shows the countries represented here of the 850 students, 120, come from abroad. social worker tanya centers is here to support them after much collect things cuz we have some problems, but they're the same ones. you'll see at any elementary, a high school, the children of the migrant families don't cause any trouble. they're not aggressive or difficult neither. while at school or elsewhere, it was as ease of if somebody could be more affordable. they're given extra help and separate portuguese lessons. but in most cases, the families are planning to stay here and the children know it is far from who

that abides. concourse, it means though students aren't really focused on their classes. holla, not as in percent goes far banker, because they know they weren't need portuguese and the future is fertile, has to do so through after one or 2 years. most of the migrants from asia move on in the hope of finding a better job elsewhere. but some do end up returning to portugal if their european dream fails to materialize. and now we leave portugal and had to indonesia to meet people who live quite literally amongst the trash. most of it comes from every day products which they use themselves with many markets in industrial nations. now reaching saturation point big companies are increasingly aiming their products at those with little income. the profits a sky high, and the environmental damage. considerable a

mom turn off. he does his rounds. in this indonesian suburb. he's a trash collector, a lot of sashes land in his cart. the small plastic packages are ubiquitous in southeast asia. caller, larry assigned more kitchen waste in housing estates, put in the villages, massages are thrown away. wiggle the single use packages are part and parcel of you mom can of his own lifestyle. he lives in a small house in tongue, around silla chung, together with his older sister and his niece laundry. so shampoo toothpaste all supplied in single portion, plastic bags. even the spices for their food coming saturdays. yeah. or if there's no sashay products, i don't know what to do. the sash is very cheap. who am i?

yeah, the amount is just enough for one meal benefits. and if i could buy a big pack, i would buy laundry, so both, so dish soap, sugar and coffee. but unfortunately i only have a little money. and if i buy a big package, oh, i'm afraid i can't buy other necessities. the important thing for me, the price of the sessions cheap, and i can cook every day who lack of pay and pay the rent as household help. she make some 50 euros a month. her brother earns between $60.12 euros, though their income does very even together, it doesn't stretch to a middle class income. that's why they prefer to buy single sashes. it gives them flexibility, but over the long term it's an expensive way of managing their household. a large bottle of shampoo or laundry soap would be 20 percent cheaper than the same

amount in st chaise. but what he will not but says shays are the main range in local stores that, that, that, that can be. yeah. many people need these sessions. so we get lots of customers about what i mean. they're more in demand because they're easier to use. have to be by customer, spend 1000 or 2000 repairs are then gonna get along. it's very cheap for them. he blew out, he will in the be then there be a gump on my guy there. so cheap that even down at the riverside says she's are used for doing the laundry the way it always was happening. i sometimes i only buy one sashay sometimes to ally can sometimes i have a lot of laundry. sometimes i used to sasha is a day. yeah, through the i me as a provided with 2000 or a p, as i can get full sashay,

i can use full size shades of laundry soap for 2 days. a law. and i let i will bought it. oh, that's roughly 12 euro since it's a huge environmental problem. empty plastic sashes are all over and they're non recyclable. environmental as teaser. my fear thinks it's monstrous that these packages are still being manufactured. she's fighting for a plastic re world. every single region in indonesia will have a traditional market and they used to sell daily items in bulk. they sell it in bulk. we would go there with our own containers. we'd get a keela rice, maybe a few eggs bringing our own basket. none of them were packaged and that went on fine. the same goes for so we could buy so far as back then there was no problem at all. we didn't have to buy liquid soap in fashion. about 50 percent of global sasha

production is based in se asia, and the region is where most of them are sold, a lucrative business. a lot of the brands that are whose names are on this actually packages our brand of multinational fast moving consumer good. who companies are all around the world and they've originated in developed countries. they originated in europe in the united states were very familiar with the brands. the irony is that in europe and in the united states and in the u. k, you won't see sasha. you'll see the brand sell their product in bottles that are recyclable, but not sasha. the only place where they market pressure is in the developing country. ironically in a place where they're so little capacity to recycle the fashion. you know lever is

one of the top brands here, especially when it comes to shampoo and laundry soap. the company declined in interview, but it did right to say that is working on producing sash a's meat of only one material and future rather than several materials, which makes them impossible to recycle. but the company won't comment on profit and any quality unsaturated sales. nothing's likely to change in the short term for a mom and darcy a canopy. they have to decide on a day to day basis. exactly what the family needs for. i am and will not been for beth beth, how can i use sanchez because they're cheaper. got me day the amount is just rightly with and they're easy to use long, long at that with and once again, he takes off on his rounds. the company should produce the sashes. no, they can count on their indonesian customer base. ready ah

ah ah sashay so so practical a nightmare for the environment in our web special we charge the journey of such a sashay from the origins of the raw materials it's made from to it's tracy phase. we find out where the number of sessions is growing and why they're so lucrative for businesses. and so disastrous for our planets. find out more at d, w dot com, sash plastic. brazil is another country with high levels of poverty. it's fabulous a home to around 13000000 people. these often spooling districts amount by regular bouts of violence, which is one reason why those living there are frequently cut off from basic services. but this is changing,

overcoming the prejudices of the companies so that they're willing to enter this market. if they don't change their perspective, they'll miss a great opportunity here in with within those parasol. phyllis is like a city within a city, 100000 residents live in vist, lebron theme complex of houses. many of them were built without a permit or an official address. the local delivery work has come from the for there and i itself, their knowledge of the area is key to the success of the service. the company uses its own app that displays the delivery addresses, and a suitable vehicle is selected depending on the route. people who live here can't afford the rent in a middle class neighborhood. but that doesn't mean that they want to go without household appliances or a cellphone. as the demand for online services grew during the pandemic. so did the

economically, obama hit of a pickle saith. the 21 year old. now provides work for more than 90 young people in several fidelis. what's the issue here? this order is still open. we have trouble finding the recipient and the neighbors didn't know them. it could have been a technical problem with contact the addresses to see if they remember making the purchase of the young voss encourages his team to be pro active. he comes from a socially disadvantage background himself and wants to give others a chance for the shingle. but i got my family and i came to punish hopeless when i was 12. we lived in a shack in an extremely poor area, off on your fees, you know, it was difficult. i couldn't just live with it. that's what awakened my desire to make a difference in to transform people's reality. like the thought businesses inside of havana also benefit from the service because puzzles can be sent out to. there are thousands of businesses inside put eyes up,
