A report released ahead of this year's International Workers' Memorial Day on April 28, found similar problems in all countries; a lack of official data on the number of cases, partly due to a reluctance to diagnose work-related illness for fear of the financial cost. 'The problem is there is no data, absolutely no data. You can get quarterly data for economic statistics, but you can't get any data about the workers... what is their health, how are they faring? There is no data on that,' Pandita said. Asia is home to some of the most dangerous workplaces in the world, a Hong Kong-based labour rights centre says in a damning report. Exploitative conditions expose workers to health threats such as toxic-metal poisoning even as they and their families struggle to gain recognition, compensation and justice, the Asia Monitor Resource Centre says in its report on six countries, including China.
