It is estimated that average salaries of IT workers in developing countries are lower by up to 80% of comparable workers in developed countries (UNCTAD, 2003, p. 135). D’Costa (2003, p.218) notes that Indian salaries in various IT services are between 7-40% of the US industry figures. Arora et al. (2001, p.1275) indicate that one person-year onsite work is billed at about $90,000-$100,000 while comparable offshore work is billed at about $25,000-$35,000

In the 1950s China had comparable low literacy levels. Dreze and Loh (1995) point out to the virtual elimination of illiteracy in the younger age groups in China. Indonesia has achieved 85% literacy with 80% female literacy as compared with just India’s 54% female literacy in 2001 (World Bank, 2001b, p.23; GoI, 2001, p.186)
