more than half of the philippines is under rural rather than urban and you're saying agriculture does not matter... check your UNDP index murag naa na sila pila ka filipino ang nasa rural ug urban..
i would also like to point out that the poorest of all filipinos are those in the rural areas... so how would hyperwage solve the problem on rural poverty...
hello!!!!!
yes i do mind... how much should my tenants pay me kung 25k ang minimum wage sa non-agri workers... how about the agri-workers?
or are you saying hyperwage is not applicable to agricultural workers and only to non-agricultural workers?
how about construction worker? kung musaka ila pay, pila namn ang pabuhat ug mga baly ug building diri sa ato-a?
ang rent sa balay musaka ba sad?
YES- there will be increases in salary but this time, employers will now hire the right kind of employees- Quality rather than quantity. Notice that in a building construction, there are a lot of headcounts but not all are working 90% of the time. Same with dept stores, govt offices, etc- most are overmanned who just waits for time to pass.
YES- rental will increase but your tenants can now afford it. Rent will increase to a level that will still be affordable.
Carpenters, electricians, plumbers, etc will be expensive. Thats why, like in 1st world countries, D0-It-Yourself will be very common.
And yes Maids will be expensive- so most people will give them up. The maids on the other hand can now go back to studying because their fathers whom most are farmers, carpenters, or part of the labor force are by then earning hyperwage salaries.
The career moms can now give up their jobs to take care of the family because the husbands hyperwage income can now support the family.
and yes- local goods will be expensive but the import goods which are already at first world prices will ONLY slightly increase. Shops selling these imported goods may have lesser profit per item BUT will enjoy more profits due to volume. Take note that with Hyperwage, people can now afford these imported goods.
There are a lot more discussed in the book. Only of one fully reads the book will one fully appreciate it.
I kept saying this but not all seems to get the point. Read first. Then we can discuss better.
