Ein Zitat aus dem Artikel:
"The solution proposes setting a minimum global minimum wage rate at $120 a
month in terms of ppp or real $60 a month in the countries under consideration
where ppp was about 0.5. Individual countries may choose to have higher
minimum wage rates. The solution corresponds to a purchasing power parity of
$ 4 a day, enough for a single parent family of four to survive on or for a working
couple with six children. If we work at $1.25 per day, we are talking about a
minimum global wage rate of real $ 75 a month or a ppp $ 150 a month."
