I can understand how a reasonable adsense income could be a bliss by the living standards in india then...
In your country, made by someone earning $2-3 per hour, How much does a Happy Meal cost at MacDonalds? Here in Australia cost $4.95AUD people earning here $8AUD per hour.
How would someone go about contacting people in india for outsourcing work like "paid for posting" type stuff?
I would love to be able to help out someone in India by providing them with something they could do to supliment their income while at the same time providing cheap labor for myself.
@Joshbond, just go to the services part of DP. There are lots of people from India and other parts of the world offering services of the full range of qualities.
The irony is the rich gets richer. Majority of India is poor. There are people earning .5$ per day. Still having a good meal, 3 kids and a plastic shade to sleep. Again even in most metros you can still have a decent meal for 10-15 rs. where 1$=40 Rs. Cost per month : So regular meal 900 Rs ie Rs 30/day Breakfast and stuff 600 Rs house rent 3500 Rs Travel 1000 Rs Entertainment 1000 Rs So 7000 Rs would give you a average living in a city which is less than 200$
We have to take the facts into account for this. The PCI of india is somewhere around 3737$ Recently salaries have taken an uprise and generally college engineering freshers get paid around 400$ a month. 400$ a month might not be a lot by american standards but one can lead a happy life here with that much of cash. On the other hand the cash rich people in india are/have always been/ and will always be rich. This can be best demonstrated from the fact that the CEO of Reliance Industries is building a house in mumbai for an estimated 100 million dollars. But its almost like the opposite in the rural areas where people earn less that 40$ a month and still they continue to thrive with w/e meager amount they make. The reason why india continues to be in its current state is because of the mentality of the people. When the mentality changes - So will the country.
That's not correct. US has the most billionaires. India has the most billionaires in Asia. Even after having so many super rich people, India's per capita income is just $800 per year. (US has $22000+)...so you can imagine how wide the rich-poor gap is in India.
According to wikipedia India's per capita income is 3727$ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India It isnt dangerous for american's visiting India as long as you dont kiss indian women in public
