Costs of living vary county by country. To expect workers in one country to accept wages that are based on another countries lower cost of living isn't going to provide a very harmonious situation, particularly when workers from the countries with a lower cost of living are being brought in to do the job, be it bricklaying, flying or any other job. Especially when the CEO's of the companies employing the low paid workers still accept their high cost of living salaries.
For this reason the free market economy is a load of bollocks.
Perhaps application of the free market economy to Politicians and Bureaucrats salaries by employing imported cheaper Bureaucrats etc might bring about some reality to this situation.
