The dollar amount they're getting paid is irrelevant, what matters is how that compares to what they'd be making otherwise. If you get paid $0.50/day to work on a farm for 12 hours, getting paid $3/day to type for 10 is a pretty fantastic opportunity. But the median income in Milan is something on the order of $1,200 USD/mo so no your $2-3/day figure is pure fiction. Edit: Manila seems to be the outlier by about 10-15% but I'm making a guess that most of those types of firms would be located in the major cities and not rural areas. |

Heres the cliffnotes of how it goes though, roughly:
* So is minimum wage ok then?
* Why cant a minimum wage person invest all their money into a startup? Why do they have to be a accredited investor?!?
* Why cant I just open up a payday loan place that charges 900% interest? Theres no other payday loan places around and poor people willingly will use it!
* What about prostitution, nobody is forcing them to do it?
* Alright then, Should we let poor people sell their organs? Again, nobody is forcing them to do it!
Cliffnotes: Just because someone will 'willingly' do something, or doesnt have any better options, doesnt make it just or moral. You setting up a 'consulting' company in bangladesh that pays people x$ a day to do something is exploiting those people, plain and simple.
Also, as to your phillipine cost- You are completely wrong. The average wage across the majority of regions in the country is under $10 per day. This is where (see my first link below) most shops get setup, obviously.
