"Paying people living in one place more than people living in another place for the same work" <-- is this not what companies all do, they use COLA adjustment to pay 2 different wages in 2 different places.
Note also that take-home pay might be very different due to employer costs (If you pay some one X, and it costs X+D in one place, in a different country/place, maybe for the same cost, the take home pay might very well be X/2 just because the "D" part inflates due to local regulation...).
Not saying this is a good thing, just pointing out it is already happening (i.e. it's slipped all the way down already!).
