What you did not take into the consideration is that he only worked 8 hours every single day, and only 5 days a week. One will get paid more for working on weekends. Do you work 8 hours a day in Taiwan? I guess not, and you probably have to work on Saturday or Sunday as well without pay?
The truth is, when it comes to dinning out, you had to pay more in Australia, because as you know, they get paid more there. But if you choose to buy and cook your own, its not too much of a difference compared to Taiwan.
He might pay more in tax or if he got sick, but with the time he save, he can enjoy his experience and if he chose to work more than 8 hours a day, he got paid more. "working holiday" is a choice for someone to apply for the visa to work, to study or to travel.
By the way, he will not be in the "physical labour" industry forever, its a maximum of 2 years with that visa. |
