The minimum what? I'm pretty sure the minimum is 0 in both places. The minimum salary mandated by the government? That's just a policy, it says nothing on how realistic, widespread or sustainable it is within the two countries.

Either way I'm sure there's a perfect metric for a comparison, probbaly the kind of lifestyle you can attain with that income, but I'd be surprised to find it significantly different than this rough estimate.

I also don't believe people attracted by this prospect are economists...
