Believe it or not but 1USD per hour is not poor country. Poor country be like 1 USD per day.
- danieltillett 8y agoDue to inflation is not possible to live on 1 USD per day anymore as the cost of food alone is higher than this. Even in the poorest countries labour costs are at a minimium of 1 USD an hour.
- bodas 8y agoIt is certainly possible to meet all of one's nutritional requirements on 1 USD per day of food, especially if you have a chicken to provide eggs. If working 48 hour weeks, 1 USD per hour is $208 per month, which is a modestly good wage in some places. Not really the minimum, although probably so for a very dirty and unpleasant job in a recycling factory.

- DanBC 8y agoAbout 80% of the world lives on less that $10 per day, and about half live on less than $2.50 per day.
- danieltillett 8y agoYes, but how many live on $1 a day.
