A Bill That Can Kill
Bills. Wow, even the name sounds scary, perhaps because it rhymes with kills? I personally don't have to deal with those "tormenting papers", phew! Although at some point we all will. Unfortunatley, some have it harder than others. Most labourer's wages, to my knowledge, aren't that high. So you can imagine how hard it must be to raise a family with a minimum wage. The average amount of years of schooling adults in Tanzania, 2.7. (Nation Master, 2012) I would guess that getting into labor work would not require much of a past related to education, hence making the job employment easily accessible. It would be interesting to know how laborers get their personal expenses paid, having paid a minimum wage. I am thinking of making a chart, to see how everything works out. This would not only help me understand the laborers economic situation, but the value of money. This could teach me a few things, for example how hard it is to pay bills, earn a living, not only for yourself, but also for a family. Looking forward to it!
