The disgusting organization that is FIFA

I looked a little into Qatar work related deaths, and it seems the situation isn't nearly as bad as it was reported. It's actually business as usual.

Qatar has a population of 2.2 million. 1.4 million are migrant workers, of which 0.9 million are workers from India and Nepal. There has been 468 deaths in those two groups in 2014, according to embassies of India and Nepal. Since those workers make 60% of total migrant workforce, we can extrapolate that about 830 (give or take a few) migrants workers in total die in Qatar.

That number includes all worker deaths, ie. literally every employed person who's died, whatever the cause. It doesn't mean work related death, like someone falling from a top of a construction site. That is comparable to UK, according to BBC. More than 50 000 workers die every year in the US, from work related diseases (that's not the total number, that is just for work related diseases, the actual number is surely higher)

While it is true that Qatar could take care of its migrant workers better, it's not nearly as bad as it was being portrayed. Number of Indian worker deaths every year in India is higher than the the number of Indian worker deaths in Qatar (as a percentage).
