Although they supposedly monitor and remove this type of task (uh huh). | ||

Talking about how things are/aren't "worth the effort" is a very Western thing. Worth the effort or not. Nowhere in the world is $2 a week reasonable, nor do I believe these jobs exist for these mentioned salaries. For starters, you need internet access, and that costs more than $2/week. Now if you're going into an office that organizes the internet access that means it's not some informal job that you do from your home, but an actual one with someone organizing your work environment (legal or not). And even the worst real jobs in the worst countries pay more than $2/week. | ||

Internet on your cellphone access can be obtained for cheaper than $2 even in Poland and mobile services in general are super cheap in many poor countries - you don't need a 100mbit line to post a bit of spam. $2 per week as wage still seems low, average income is $38 per month even in DR Congo, but it's not that far off. | ||

You drive a hard bargain. How about $3 a week then? | ||

Presumably we use the same site (worlddata.info). Average income is calculated by gross national income and population. On dividing all annual incomes and profits by the amount of the countrie's population, it will show the average income per capita. Included in this amount are all salaries and wages but also other unearned income on investments or capital gain. That therefore also takes people who don't participate in the official economy (e.g. subsistance farmers) into account. So, digging deeper, lets go to Madagascar, the country lowest on that ranking, at $33/month: https://wageindicator.org/salary/living-wage/madagascar-living-wage-series-january-2018-country-overview Legal minimum wage is $43,50. Real wage of low-skilled worker (as calculated by this site's survey) starts at $61. So, no, $2/week is not happening anywhere. Although $15/week is shocking enough. | ||

Thailand's minimum wage was $0.16 USD per day at the beginning of this year. | ||

Thailand's minimum wage was $0.16 USD per day at the beginning of this year. I rate that 5 pinocchios. Thailand's minimum wage is 325 baht (and was 305 baht last year) per day, which is ~$10.
