Brazilian works 8 hours to buy Nutella; English needs 34 minutes

By
To buy a 650 grams pot of Nutella in Brazil, you need to work more than 8 hours. In the UK, a larger pot (750 grams) equals 34 minutes of work. The account is Thayana Triacca Romero, 28, Brazilian who lives in Liverpool. It took into account the value of the minimum hourly wage in both countries.

Price comparisons between this and other products are posted on their Facebook page. For example: a 1-liter pack of Listerine oral antiseptic sold at BRL 50.05 in Brazil is equivalent to 11 hours and 32 minutes of work.


In the UK, to buy the same product, which costs 4 pounds, you have to work only 32 minutes, that is, 11 hours less than in Brazil.

"I already knew that those who receive a Brazilian minimum wage did not have that quality of life, but to see from that angle was very sad. In Brazil, a purchase of the month doesn't leave for less than BRL 500.00" she told to UOL.

Minimum-salary in Brazil X in the United Kingdom

In Brazil, the current minimum wage is BRL 954 per month. Dividing this amount by 220 hours (maximum day allowed in the month), we have a minimum wage of BRL 4.34 per hour. In the United Kingdom, the government's minimum wage is hourly rather than monthly. Currently, the figure is 7.83 pounds (about BRL 37,30) per hour for workers over 25 years.
