In our country,most of the worker here can only get the salary with an average at $500/month ,I said for most of the people,for myself,I am a young worker now and I can make about $1500 a month now,I am a salesman . In my eyes ,we are really work for a very low wage here in China,we have no way to get high income because we have the most populous everywhere ,this coz our cheaper labour. I would like to know your normal income in your country,thanks myloters.

I only earn more than $400 (converted to US dollar) plus some bonuses here in the Philippines. But since I'm only just a year and half in the professional field, I guess I'm still fine with that. Moreover, I still have my family to help out with the other financial needs. Yes, I'm still living with my parents. And I'm happy that I can still be able give back to them. :)

We are the same culture to you.But as you know ,our country is so big,and we usually move to the other town for working and study,so we don't live at home,we alway return home only 2-4 times in one year,In this case we have very lille time to get together with our parents.Can you understand me? Have a good days,My friend.

Well, it's practically part of our culture. Yes, we have a choice whether to move out or not. But most Filipinos don't usually leave their parents' house until they are already getting married. That's the only time most of us move out. That's how family ties work for us. I guess even though you are already away from home, there will always be a way to spend more time with them. :)

Hi friend! I am from Philippines and as far as I know the minimum wage in our country is $350+ per month. This amount is not enough considering the high cost of basic commodities, that is why some of the people from my country are deciding to work outside the country. But I know that the present government is doing its best in order to address the problem in the economy of our country. It's also a good thing that we can now work online, at least we could earn additional income without going out of the country. Actually, if one will just work hard, I'm sure we will be able to get enough amount for our daily living. Have a nice day!

Yeah Aries. People decide to go abroad but there is another solution to that. They start their own business. Or even for me, I do work part time online. At least there is an extra income.

How did you do that?How much can you get your extra income by work online.I Never get some extra income by work onlike in my part time. I agree with Aries,if we just work hard,we will be able to get enough aomount from our daily living.But the fact is,beside our daily living,we have plenty of other calls on our cash,just like education ,like cars and house ,and medical treatment,so on and so on.Now the house in our country is very expensive,somebody here even can't afford one house by whole their life .That sounds really sad things.

Hiya CC, Average wage here in this Country varies a lot from 500 Euros to about 900 average. That is the actual realistic wage. A few lucky ones will earn a bit more than that. A lot of people are emigrating from here even if they are not Students. A lot of them going to Sweden, Norway and Switzerland. Quite a few Chinese People here and they earn about the same too I think so it seems.xxx

Hiya CC, As you might know Spain is going through the same as Greece except that Greece if really feeling the toughest part of it. At the moment their wages have vanished into almost nothing. But they do both have one thing in common they will help each other out regardless of the situations they are living themselves I send them big hugs from here too as they have sent us the same. We are lucky in spite of everything yes those who are still able to grow their own food even though they do not have very much money are coming out the best as I said a lot of people of all ages have gone to work in other Countries but if you come here you are treated and welcomed with open arms. xxx

In my country in Fiji is it like same as your country but here in india where i am now is more worse. The pay is so so less and it is not worth the knowledge at all. so it is like this. I have my cousins in Australia, New Zealand, US and Canada. they are doing very good and earning in millions. so you can see that is why people are migrating from one country to another for better living. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I myself am from FIJI ISLANDS but I fell in love with this guy while I was on scholarship in India. haha. so now I am married to this guy and I stay in the state of Goa. i am confused myself why people want more babies. i think it is lack of education in rural areas. I am in a state which was governed by Portugal once and people here are different. They are modern people and do family planning. So yeah that is about it. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Here in my country we are not that well paid. Plus things here are very expensive, even food items are expensive. The average salary payment here is around 400 dollars per month in the public sector and parastatal sector. However, in private firms you can earn twice that amount depending on the profit that the business makes.

Here also it is extremely expensive. I am still living with my Mum because I cannot afford a place of my own. I wish I could, but unfortunately I can't. :(

Hi babyeve,Thank you for join in here,sound like your country'average wage is much the same to us ,our things are expensive too ,especially the house ,you should pay around $200,000 when you want to get a ordinary house in the city.How do you think about this?

For an average in India each people earns $30/month. Because our population reached 15 billions.I think you have asked a tricky question. In our area most of the people are farmers. I think they earns around some $100/month only. But my father is a bank employe and his salary is $600/month, which is very rare in our area. Some people in our area are also doing some extra works at rich people houses and factories.

As you know,China also have the population reached more than 13 billions.But $30/month is really tiny income ,I can't imagine what kind of life do you live,but maybe everything is cheap in your side. There are also many Indian here in China,a lot of them do some textile business like me,And I think they can earn much more than $1500/month here,can you believe that?

Many China people come to Malaysia to work and study, our average salary for a clerk or general worker is RM800, promoter is about RM1000 plus, sales job is unlimited. RM800 is equal to USD250 plus, it is less than you mentioned USD500. So choosing a country to work is also important. Personally I would like to go to America to work anything like wash dishes plates, or promoter in shopping complex. I hope I can learn my English there.

I am glad to hear from you ,thank you for join this discussion. Means your country of the average salary is not better to us,maybe both of our country are in the middle and lower reaches.Hope your income will become better and better. By the way,It is not easy to work in the other contry,you will feel lonely ,you will have language barrier,you will very missed your family and friends ,and so on.I used to wish I can work in the other country too,but I have never been to the other country up to now,wish our dream will come true one day.

Ours here in the Philippines is much less. The minimum is I guess equal to $300 only. I am holding a supervisory position in the government service and my salary is equal to $1,000 however, my net pay is only equal to about $400 because of my loans, taxes, insurances, etc. which are deducted from my salary.

In china the average salary indeed low. I feel shameful about my salary because it is really low. What makes this situation happend? Rich people are more rich, poor are much poorer. The most important reason , I think, is unblance of distribution. different area and profession are also the cause.
