Excuse me, this discussion is not of the great state of Delaware, its actually about Dubai. Secondly, yes I've done a fair amount of travel. Thirdly, your from MARYLAND. WOW! SO EXOTIC, simpleton ****.

"Dubai has over 250,000 foreign laborers, many of whom live in conditions described by Human Rights Watch as being "less than human" [42] [43]. [44][45] NPR reports that workers "typically live eight to a room, sending home a portion of their salary to their families, whom they don't see for years at a time." The BBC has reported that "local newspapers often carry stories of construction workers allegedly not being paid for months on end. They are not allowed to move jobs and if they leave the country to go home they will almost certainly lose the money they say they are owed" -from wikipedia (if you want an 'academic' source, ask for one)
More indentured service, rather than the blanket term slavery ... Really its just semantics.

But yeah, in 2005 they changed a lot of legislation to protect children. Yet, Michael Jackson still moved camp there....for obvious reasons..

Dubai has a population of 1.3 million people, expected to double by 2010.

250,000/1,300,000=0.19xxx
so 19% live in deplorable conditions, a small step from 75% admittedly.

"Economic Policy

In matters unrelated to diplomacy and defence, each emirate enjoys considerable autonomy in managing its own affairs. In business, the government of Dubai is committed to liberal, free market policies and to the creation of a business environment conducive to commercial activity.

This approach is well illustrated by the incentives available to investors in the Jebel Ali and Airport Free Zones and by the continuing high level of public sector investment in the infrastructure." - http://www.leadingworld.net/info_dubai-3.php

Sounds more like people invest in industry rather than receive direct revenues from industry...



I'm not disputing Dubai's unprecedented economic and infrastructure development..It is simply amazing.
