Mine's well under £30, so that's about 5 and a half times the minimum hourly wage here. And for you? all the best urban

Only myself and my wife are at home now. Our daughters are married at are at their own in another city. So we don't need a lot of things for us. I estimate Rupees 200 per person for a week is enough. (Rupees 200 is almost equel to 5 dollors a week.)

Well that sounds very cheap but I wonder how long it would take a badly paid person to earn that amount? all the best urban

So with an unskilled worker earning enough for his weekly food bill in a day means he works a little longer for his food than in UK. I will be starting a discussion about housing costs soon, it will be interesting to see how that compares all the best urban

A badly paid person here means an unskilled worker, whose wages is Rupees two hundred or approximately $ 5 a day. An average employee of the government get nearly 300 Rupees a day. But in a family with childrens and more members percapita expenses for a person per week may come to Rupees 250, which may be equel to $6.2
