The most dangerous job in the world...! workers in Risk..!?

It's a common assumption that the most dangerous job in the world has the highest pay, but some places also have the lowest pay for the most dangerous job in the world. Now let's look at the Indonesian miners who risk their lives for fear of hunger and see the most dangerous work in the world. Mining is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, especially going to a mine in a volcanic area. It is a non-guaranteed job.
If we think that every dangerous job in the world pays more for going into Indonesia's volcanic mines and extracting sulphur, it is not true. Unfortunately, many people are looking at these dangerous jobs for very low wages. believe it or not, this is the truth. workers risking their lives to work in volcanic mines are paid only $12. That is about one thousand rupees in indian currency.
It is noteworthy that the workers who go into the volcanic mine carry their own body weight of sulfur from the mine. According to a survey of workers there, those who do this work generally do not live past 50 years of age. Most miners were tasked with risking their lives to go into the mine and come out with two baskets of 200 pounds of sulphur. Hundreds of sulphur miners can be seen working inside this volcanic mine in Indonesia.
When asked why they are risking their lives to do this work for just one thousand rupees, one of the employees said only one-word 'hunger'. He said that they are risking their lives to do this work because of fear of hunger and only if they do this work their family can eat enough.
They said that their shoulder swells due to carrying sulfur but eventually, they got used to it, and even though it is a dangerous job they continue to do this job as it alleviates the poverty of their family.
 Also, the workers who work there said that if there is sudden smoke while taking sulfur in the mine, they have to run out to save their lives, and if the smoke enters their bodies, they will experience terrible pain in the intestines. It is unfortunate that there are no adequate safety measures for the workers who risk their lives in the mines.
It is noteworthy that those who go to work inside the mine are given only a cloth soaked in water and they tie the cloth around their mouths and take risks inside.
