From the Daily NK:
Workers in the Kaesong Industrial Complex are officially paid $57.50/month.
North Korean workers only receive 4500W ($1.5/month) after various deductions. So North Korean workers only take 2.6% of their wage home. This is still twice of the wage of normal North Korean workers, so they are satisfied.
North Korean workers in Kaesong Industrial Complex might not recognize that this is a problem. They are used to obeying the government.
I would not be happy paying 97.4% income tax. I try to avoid getting out of my relatively low American taxes as it is. I would not work (above ground)…unless I was really hungry.
