Well, their best bet is immigration, legal or otherwise. Not to belabor the obvious here, but where you live determines how much you can make. The same person with the same education and the same skills can make seven times more working in the United States than in Haiti, according to economists Michael Clemens, Claudio Montenegro, and Lant Pritchett. Or, to give another example, you can make more than 10 times as much for doing the same job in an American McDonald's as you can in an Indian one. That's why looser immigration laws are actually one of the best things we could do to fight global poverty.
