Reasons for low wages and high prices

The reasons for this situation are the level of economic development, industrial structure and the relationship between supply and demand in the labor market.

1. Economic development level: Due to low productivity and few employment opportunities, wages in economically underdeveloped areas are relatively low.

2. Industrial structure: Some areas are dominated by traditional industries or low value-added industries, which often provide lower wages. At the same time, if the region lacks diversified industrial structure, the price may be high due to the influence of certain industries or products.

3. The relationship between supply and demand in the labor market: the imbalance between supply and demand in the labor market may also lead to low wages. When the supply of labor exceeds demand, employers may reduce wages to reduce costs. This situation is more common in some densely populated areas with few employment opportunities.
