    Would you ask yourself a question: is it better to exploit Bangladeshi people or let them starve?

    We still do not know if they are being exploited, do we? Some people will think in Poland we are being exploited as when working in Polish McDonalds we are not even getting 1 pound/hour…

    How do we know this is not the minimum pay up there??

    Neither is ok.
    It would be ok to pay them decent wages. I’d prefer my money to go to the workers’ pockets rather than to greedy tesco or primark bosses. In today’s economy those who actually make things we use and do services to us are on the bottom of the food chain.

    The thing is the Bangladeshi people get this job not because of the high quality or efficiency they can deliver. They have the job because they are CHEAP.

    You always could find somebody willing to do the job cheaper, but it was never easier to actually let him to do it.

    One can like that or not, but this is just the reality we can not take offence at, can we?

    The reality is we have a minimum wage (or negotiated tariff) in Europe so I can see no problem to introduce it in developing countries as well. It must not be Ł5 but I treat any work paid under Ł1ph as exploitation and modern-day slavery, is it in Poland, Asia or elsewhere.
    Yes, if asian workers are paid better wages we won’t buy their products in large amounts but they have much bigger markets of China and India available down there so let them sell there and we’ll be able to re-build our own industry and create jobs so there’s advantage for everyone

    Well, I can. For first, this would mean investors withdrawing from manufacturing business, especially in developing countries where labour efficacy is poor and can not offset higher costs. Secondly, this would cause an increase on goods price, paid inevitably by end buyers.

    Markets like these of China and India are not large at all. Combined GDP of China and India is smaller than that of Japan with many Asians still struggling to satisfy their basic needs. The only way for developing countries remain export to world market and if one wants to compete on it, one needs to be cheap.

    The minimum wage of, say, L1 would not effect the countries like Poland where labour costs usually are about that or higher. But for the countries they just starting to grasp on world market, like Thailand or Bangladesh this would be a fatal blow.

    💡 Maybe they struggle because they’re paid 3p ph?

    No, they are struggling because they are not efficient enough. Contrary to the common belief the efficiency is not only how intense is one’s labour. It is also all about how well the work is organised and what is a capacity of infrastructure, transport etc.

    Imposing the minimum wage level on the society which efficiency is below the economic standards imposed can have only one effect: nobody is going to invest in it and no development can be made.
