Those "abysmal conditions" are the same abysmal conditions that western countries and other capitalist nations (that are now further developed) were dealing with at the same period of their own relative growth phase. Many of those asian nations were almost entirely farming regions not long ago, then capitalism/corporations brought jobs, and the chance for development. The reason the chance to make $3/day is a good chance, is that what comes to follow is a chance to make $6/day, and so on, until they are in a position not dissimilar to other developed western nations. Look at S Korea. what they were in 1960, compared to what they are now (a global Giant). They were running "sweatshops" not long ago, then they progressed to be what they are now. Given the choice, id bet asian workers who are employed in those "abysmal conditions" would rather that, than the death sentence of a life that farming brought their ancestors. Capitalism is like a plant, it needs to grow, once it does, it is beautiful, but You cant look at a starting plant, from the perspective of a finished flower, and say "that is ugly", you need to realize, the US looked like that, We had our make $3/day phase, where workplace deaths were through the roof, but it was better than what came before, and the same will ring true for Asian nations following the capitalist model.

for comparison, here is what a nation PRE- capitalism/corporations looks, still rocking the Communist ideology to the core. if You asked those residents, Im Certain They would Gladly give up dying in the fields & starving to death, for a chance to earn $3/day, so their Kids will have a chance to earn $6/day, and so on

Its easy to look around the world, with a biased view, and say "this is cruel, or this is unfair", but Your not allowing for the Reality of the situation, which is a nation CANNOT, & MUST not go from developmental stage 3 all the way to stage 10 in a year, because You think it looks "cruel or Abysmal". They need to be allowed to grow, and in time, they will reach the point the other Asian nations have, where they are now out earning the very countries that gave them their starting influence. Sometime when you have the opportunity, take a look at global i.q percentages, given the time even the most underdeveloped asian nations can become leaders in this world. Asians tend to hold higher % i.q's , they'll prosper.
