| Samenvatting |
Report on the economic and development potential of the alluvial diamond exploitation. Alluvial diamonds represent the primary source of income for more than one million freelance diggers and their families. On average, however, they earn only a dollar a day. Working conditions are unhealthy and dangerous; cheating, theft and smuggling are rampant. The report says that controls alone are not enough and calls on the diamond industry and the world’s development organizations, including the World Bank and the United Nations, to find ways to generate better prices for a commodity which represents one of the most concentrated forms of wealth on the earth.
