Life in a Low Cost Labor World 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! |
