Farm Life in China Reveals Labor and Living Costs
Adele M. Fielde notes in Popular Science Monthly July that Chinese farm workers earn by year or by day with meals included. Wages range from 8 to 14 cents daily for laborers, 8 to 10 cents with a noonday meal, and 10 to 20 cents during rice planting and harvest, with five meals or 30 cents daily without food. Land is often leased from ancient proprietors to clansmen, yielding 7 to 14 in rice value annually. Food runs about $1 per person monthly, while a lone worker spends 1.50 to 2 dollars monthly on raw materials for meals and fuel.
