Second class citizens with no worker protections of any sort whatsoever performing construction in one of the hottest places in the world.

To add to this Qatar has some of the best 'insert stat here' because they only count Qatar citizens and it's basically impossible to be one unless you're born into it or marry into it iirc. They just don't count immigrants or anyone else in those stats and treat anyone not of Qatar blood like garbage. The Stat that comes to mind is poverty, iirc 0 percent of Qataris live in poverty because the government subsidizes them which sounds great on paper but when you look into it only 11 percent of their population is counted as Qatari and the rest are just cheap labor they exploit.
