A survey commissioned by the Centre for Social Concern of the Roman Catholic Church in Malawi has revealed that meagre salaries offered by the private sector are fuelling poverty in a country where one in every 45 people live on less than one dollar a day, reports Ecumenical News International.
"There are adults who work for 12 hours a day, seven days a week but get a wage of less than 5000 kwacha (US$35) per month," reads a recent statement issued by the centre. "Employees stay in exploitative conditions out of desperation because of high employment."
