In 2010, the Government of Kerala updated its minimum wages for the Garment Manufacturing industry stipulating the following basic piece work wages for underwear: "60 Rupees (about $AUD1.15) for 1 dozen braziers or 1 dozen panties".
These rates would see an underwear maker receiving about $AUD3.50 per day or $84 per month. Given it costs about $20 to fill a scooter with petrol and about $10 to feed a family of five a standard meal at a local restaurant, it’s not hard to imagine that those salaries were less than adequate. |
