The Philippines is at the bottom of the pit in Southeast Asia when it comes to compensating nurses and medical technologists — some of the most crucial frontliners in the coronavirus pandemic. | Philbizwatcher
Singaporean nurses, on the other hand, outperform their Philippine counterparts by a whopping 486 percent as they earn an equivalent of around P236,400 per month. Singapore offers the highest wages across the region for the front-line jobs included in this research.
Filipino warehouse workers earn 54 percent more than their Vietnamese peers, while security guards earn 34 percent more than their counterparts in Vietnam.“However, this does not put these Filipino employees at a comfortable spot. Again, looking at countries with similar costs of living, non-healthcare Filipino front-liners still don’t earn as much,” iPrice said.
This year, Filipinos’ average basket size increased by 57 percent compared to last year’s, which means Filipinos spend about P1,300 a month online.In comparison, Malaysians’ average basket size is only 6 percent of the average grocery stock clerk’s salary despite having a higher average basket size of P2,336.
The average salaries recorded by iPrice are in between the salary of entry-level and senior employees.
