UK Newspaper Report on Bangladesh Brick Industry - 2018
Inside the perilous brick-making factories of Bangladesh: Millions of workers face harsh conditions as they toil to keep pace with the country's breakneck construction boom.
Useful article, with many photographs. Good insight into the brick industry in Bangladesh. The comments of some Mail readers are unpleasant and racist!
Contains an error. The output of bricks in Bangladesh is said to be 12 million a year (UN estimate). Absurdly low figure! Typically 1 brick kiln makes 3 million in a year. If there are 6,000 kilns in Bangladesh annual output will be 18 billion (18,000,000,000).
