DESCRIPTION:Foxconn Technology Group is the major contractor for Apple an
 d other leading electronics multinationals. In 2010\, 18 workers were kn
 own to have attempted suicide at Foxconn facilities in China\, resulting
  in 14 deaths. They ranged in age from 17 to 25 — all were rural migrant
 s in the prime of youth\, emblematic of the new working class. The worke
 r suicide tragedy reveals the collateral damage imposed on Chinese socie
 ty by the combined activities of international capital and the Chinese s
 tate. Eight years on\, have the one-million-strong Foxconn workers who p
 roduce the most lucrative products like iPhone Xs seeing improved workin
 g and living conditions? Has Apple’s extraordinary profitability been co
 upled with any greater social responsibility? This talk takes us to the 
 heart of workers’ lives and deaths in globalized electronics production.
