you know that in some examples the company sells more expensive the products in the regions where they pay less salary. In that example the games are more expensive in euros than in dollars, but the companies from states probably will offer less salary to someone from Europe. So it is even worse with your example.

I think you are implying that goods should cost less if you get paid less but that is not the case and is not what I was suggesting.

Actually the justification to pay you less in some places is because cost of life is lower. Which is true because food and rent is less expensive, but some products are the same or more expensive (like technology). So quality of life is worse.
