<P> Alongside globalization there is an increasing internationalization of health risks . Corporations resort to outsourced employment in developing nations, which in turn forces low income foreigners at the bottom of the "food chain," as individuals drudge for pennies on the dollar under unregulated, unsanitary and implacable conditions . Women in agriculture, for example, are often asked to work long hours handling chemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers without any protection . There are adverse health consequences from working long hours and individuals that burden themselves from working within vasts global supply chains . </P> <P> Seth, Divya, and Nimali Singh published research evidence linking a wide range of health risks and overworking . The article argued that time is of the essence; in short time is a necessity for an individual's health whether the subject is behavior, vising the doctor's office, and essential care . There is a direct correlation with stress and has been the cause for 24% of cardiovascular disease cases including strokes and heart attacks . Although both men and women experience shortcomings with health, the final reports stated that women, with the double burden of domestic and paid work experience an increased the risk of psychological distress and suboptimal health . Strazdins concluded that negative work - family spillover especially is associated with health problems among both women and men, and negative family - work spillover is related to a poorer health status among women ." </P> <P> It is common for the work lifestyle to bring forth adverse health conditions or even death due to weak safety measure policies . After the tragic collapse of the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh where over 800 deaths occurred the country has since then made efforts in boosting up their safety policies to better accommodate workers . </P> <P> Corporations set their place of production usually in areas with little to no labor regulations, and as a result low labor cost occurs . With the low labor regulations, there are risks for mistreatment of some workers, especially women and children . Poor working conditions and sexual harassment are just some of the mistreatment faced by women in the textile supply chain . Marina Prieto - Carrón shows in her research in Central America that women in sweatshops are not even supplied with toilet paper in the bathroom everyday . The reason it costs corporations more is because people cannot work to their full potential in poor conditions, affecting the global marketplace . Furthermore, when corporations decide to change manufacturing rates or locations in industries that employ more women, they are often left with no job nor assistance . This kind of sudden reduction or elimination in hours is seen in industries such as the textile industry and agriculture industry, both which employ a higher amount of women than men . One solution to mistreatment of women in the supply chain is more involvement from the corporation and trying to regulate the outsourcing of their product . </P>
