Minimum Standard of living
While checking the news tonight i came across this report.
"A single person in Britain needs to earn at least £13,400 a year for a minimum standard of living, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) has claimed" BBC...
£13,400!!! That's around $26,700!
Comparing this with Egypt just blew my mind.
Around 25% of the Egyptian Population (that around 20 million people) lives on less than $1 a day ($365 a year), Labor union has been fighting (with no success yet) to raise the minimum worker wage to a $100/month ($1200 a year).
God Bless Egypt...
