The Fraser Institute's Michael Walker in an interview with documentary film maker, Joel Bakan, endorsed 10 cents an hour for laborers in undeveloped nations while moving jobs from higher paid countries to more desperate ones.
"...the only thing that they have to offer anyone is their low cost labor...in effect what they are saying to the world is that they have this big flag that says 'come over and hire us we will work for ten cents an hour because ten cents an hour will buy us the rice that we need not to starve and come and rescue us from our circumstance' and so when Nike comes in they are regarded by everyone in the community as an enormous god-send. What happens in the areas where these corporations are unsuccessful? They soon find that they can't do any more in that country because the wages are too high now. That's another way of saying that the people are no longer desperate. So okay, we've used up all the desperate people there... they're all plump and healthy and wealthy so let's move on to the next desperate lot and help employ them and help raise them up," said Walker.

I attempted to contact Oscar Wyatt whose work with food as an incentive for desperate people was the subject of the U.N. Food-for-Oil scandal. Though unavailable an aide said "ten cents an hour in some cases is far too high. Even after Kathy Lee Gifford's sweat shops were shut down in South America, Walmart was able to make her handbags in China for only three cents an hour. What's fair is fair."
