I would say it is fine. It would increase the wages in India and at some point the pay would equal to the person who lives in the USA.
Location based pay shouldn't be there, as I have seen the differences in real life.
A bunch of people works on a ship, all part of same team does same job. But their pay is based on their home location.
People who came from Nordic region earn more and people from east Asia earns way less, though the job is exactly same.
You would make a fantastic fantasy writer. ๐ฅฒ
May be or may be not.
But it's the reality, people work at India get 8 to 10% rise every year as an average. How about people in the USA?
Are you in the market for some prime riverfront property? I have a lot you may be interested in. Unique, one of a kind.
The thing is, what constitutes a living wage is based on the home location, and all other wages reflect to that level. Most of the wages go to the cost of living everywhere, especially to housing. There is the leeching class, landowners, leeching the fruit of labor from the workforce, and in the west they are leeching that much more in pure dollars. The sad thing is that wages increasing in India wouldn't go to increasing the value of life of the workforce, but the landowning leeches of that region.
This guy sees the cat
The fact they chose india is probably for the low wages. So I wouldn't get my hopes up.
