Nature
Although many people may not be officially employed in developing countries, most find work in the informal sector, whether in unregistered businesses, street selling or as servants. Working hours may extend to 10-15 per day, 6 or 7 days per week, for which they are underpaid. Such positions in industrialized countries are, in contrast, taken by immigrants from developing countries, as westerners are often unwilling to perform such manual labour for little compensation. Often those who perform live-in care for children, the elderly and the disabled in western countries are immigrants from developing countries, who may work more and earn less than western natives.
