BANGALORE: Does the idea of keeping a gunman to work seem more pleasing than driving your Honda? If this description matches your career ambitions, then you’re certainly lucky because some of the countries listed below don’t give the same freedom as the other counties provide. Maplecroft, a consultancy service, evaluated around 197 countries on the criteria that includes minimum wage, working hours, health and safety in the workplace and it found out that there is a rise of risk factor over 20 percent from 49 to 60, between 2013 and 2014. In addition, this signifies a worsening global landscape for workers and especially immigrants. So if you want to stay in your current job but have the same level of excitement in your lifestyle, here is the list of the countries you should be aware of before you make a decision as listed by MapleCroft.



#10 Zimbabwe: Zimbabwe, one of the poorest countries in the world, is unsafe for the worker to survive.  And to add on to this it has an outbreak of many diseases and among them the deadliest being the cholera. Since the independence in 1980, the government has tried ineffectively to remove the wide income gap between the rich and poor in the country. But the country still faces with a lack of employment opportunities in the formal sector.  Therefore, Zimbabweans have extended great initiative to create jobs for themselves as carpenters, street-vendors, cross-border traders, sculptors or brick-molders. However, these jobs have kept many people employed; most workers find themselves on the fringes of the law as they often lack the required license. So, at times they tend to violate the laws that ban commercial activity in residential areas.
