Yeah I feel the same way . <| sep |> Dear diary don ' t go to French water parks <| sep |> Well no , hence per capita . The point of per capita is to account for population differences . If China has 50 , 000 deaths per year in the construction industry , but 1 . 4 billion people , then this is a lesser problem than if Nigeria has 10 , 000 deaths per year , but only 180 million people . Of course this is further skewed by the size of the respective industries . China ' s construction industry is almost invariably much larger than Nigeria ' sper capita . And such industries are the most dangerous on earth in terms of workplace injuries and deaths . An interesting stat during the construction of the Beijing Olympic Venue , there were 2 deaths . During the construction of the world cup stadium in Qatar , there have been ~ 2 , 000 deaths so far and counting . China has 1 st world standards and safety measures .
