Leslie T. Chang: The voices of China’s workers (http://www.ted.com/talks/leslie_t_chang_the_voices_of_china_s_workers.html)
In the ongoing debate about globalization, what's been missing is the voices of workers -- the millions of people who migrate to factories in China and other emerging countries to make goods sold all over the world. Reporter Leslie T. Chang sought out women who work in one of China's booming megacities, and tells their stories.
In her reporting and writing, Leslie T. Chang explores the lives of workers in China, focusing on the experience of women.
"Chinese workers are not forced into factories because of our insatiable desire for iPods. They choose to leave their homes in order to earn money, to learn new skills and to see the world.” (Leslie T. Chang)"
