| Except for some western countries where all pay is hammered into legislation, it's the way it works in most countries in this world. If many people can do a job, the pay is lower and with respect to the RMB 7/hr for the ayi service: in a city where decent breakfast can be found for RMB 2, lunch for RMB 3 and dinner for RMB 5, food for the day costs a little over 1 hour of ayi's salary......you can't eat 3 meals of one hour minimum pay in either North-America and/or Europe. Of course the comparison isn't completely fair, especially when you look at housing costs and health insurance. But what choice would you make: provide the opportunity to make a living or not, that's the whole question. And if you want to hire an ayi ..... you're not obliged to pay the minimum.....if you want to pay RMB 10-15/hr, please do so! |
