is this the reason that people in undeveloped countries get paid less? because most everbody lives off the land and it is boring, so when , for example, in China , you hear that if you go to the coast you can jump in line with 1000's of others to get a job in Hong Kong or Shanghai and if you can train and get a job like at a factory or IT company than you can live the nice modern life, buy a gas guzzeler live in a polluted city and go to KFC? dont foget they got plenty of pretty prostitutes running around too in the city with drugs! is it this cometition for the modern city life that makes places like China so competitive for wages and therefore cheaper place to move factories to , because they are in such high demand in such an undevoloped country?

No, in undeveloped countries, there is usually a lack of infrastructure such as roads, utilities, transportation, etc. This makes it very hard to trade and establish industries. Since the industries do not get established, there are fewer jobs, causing individuals to accept less since they have to do this to get a job. Individuals move to other countries that are more developed in your example. This is because there are generally more jobs there that they can compete for. China is not a truly undeveloped country. Go to Sub-Sahara Africa. Those are undeveloped, lacking even factories in many cases. Communism does not make a country undeveloped. Poverty and lack of basic necessities does.

I have a suspicion that while undeveloped countries may have laws that are supposed to protect workers, the laws aren't enforced. So employers take advantage of the workers, paying them low wages and expecting them work in appalling conditions.

I live on a farm, i am not bored.
I am not attracted to your city prostitutes either, you can keep them.
I also like the way we use white space and sentences in the countryside, it helps us communicate.

Have you ever lived in the country? If you work on a farm you don't have time to be bored.

This is not the reason for this you must find other reasons concerning why they chose to come here or there!
