(Anonymous) 2013-12-04 04:59 am (UTC)(link)Let's put it like that:
Right now most companies only hire people by hours or by "work done". As a result, they can pay less than the minimal wage to their workers.
The minimal wage is around 300(approx) dollars with the current exchange. The standard rent price in the city? between 400-500(approx) dollars with the current exchange.
It's possible to find some cheaper places, if you're willing to live in a place that could collapse at any moment/without potable water/that's so dangerous that even the cops fear and other similar issues. Most people who can't get a better job or can't have several jobs have to live like that.
Education here is, per se, a privilege and if you don't have enough money to pay for it or to be able to get a loan, you can't even study.
As a result, most people who study in another city either have their parent pay for their rent or have an scholarship.
In the last case, people tend to search for flatmates so they can pay manage to pay the rent together.
I live with my mom, we both work and luckily manage to live decently.
I work from home on my own right now (and using self taught skills, because I couldn't afford going to college; if I ever do, I'll chose one of the course several universities are offering to do with virtual learning), though, because all the jobs I found didn't even pay me enough to pay the transportations costs to go to work.
Yes, this country is pretty much fucked up economically, has high levels of poverty and on top of that the last I saw a list of the countries with the higher cost of living it was the listed as the second.
