Some Facts
Disease transmission at work, mostly caused by poor sanitation and hygiene practices, causes 17% of all workplace deaths (International Labour Organization (ILO) 2003)
Loss of productivity due to illnesses caused by lack of sanitation and poor hygiene practices is estimated to cost many countries up to 5% of GDP (Hutton 2012)
Providing toilets to people in rural areas currently practising open defecation is estimated to result in benefits that exceed costs 5-7x (Hutton 2015)
In India, the time spent looking for a toilet or finding somewhere to go in the open costs the economy over $10 billion every year in lost productivity – 20% of GDP (World Bank 2016)
