Which countries offer a cheaper unskilled manufacturing base to Cambodia these days ? Bangladesh, Pakistan, North Korea ? It truly is a bummer when the bottom line is affected by slave labour wanting a living wage. Let them eat cake.
Oh, I don't know. If only there were another country in Southeast Asia with a notoriously hard working population, that had easy sea/port access, cheaper electricity, and hill lands that stayed cool and did not necessitate the use of air conditioning. It would be a bonus if this country had half the holidays of Cambodia as well.
Oh yea.... Vietnam. In 2019, the minimum wages range from VND 2.92 million (US$125) to VND 4.18 million (US$180).
The ranges are per region:
Region I ($180) covers urban Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City;
Region II ($159) covers rural Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City along with urban Can Tho, Da Nang, and Hai Phong;
Region III ($140) includes provincial cities and the districts of Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Hai Duong, and Vinh Phuc provinces; and
Region IV ($125) covers the remaining localities.
And now they've increased minimum wage here:
"Next year’s basic minimum wage has been increased by 4.4 per cent to $190 a month from $170 per month last year after the final round of negotiations ended in a vote last week, the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training announced.
A ministry press release said allowances, including $7 for transportation, $10 for accommodation, 2,000 riel ($0.50) for meals and a seniority bonus of $2 to $11 would remain unchanged – bringing the average salary for workers to $207 to $218 per month."
