Many efforts are made by business people to get maximum profit, one of which is by reducing the cost of wages or employee salaries, they generally only provide a minimum wage in accordance with regional regulations, this will make workers lazy to do their jobs, and results in lower productivity, what do you think.
In my opinion, low wages mean low productivity because employees work for money. Money is their motivation.

I believe that whenever a worker is underpaid, there is always a possibility that the worker will not be interested in giving his best for the job which is why it is always good to pay workers something that is realistic with their work.

It does not mean that lo one wages means low productivity because there are some jobs that will pay very low amount but you will work endlessly.

The truth is that if I am paid a lowered wage, you won't expect me to be as motivated as when that wage is doubled. Take it from me, lowered wages, money is the number one motivator.

Maybe it all depends on a person low wage can mean that the person is less motivated to work since he/she gets low pay it's hard for people who get low wage to be happy and productive

One thing I have come to realize is that we should try to offer great value no matter the pay as long as you accept the job. If you don't want to give your best, don't take the job. I believe in posterity though.

It is very important for you to pay your work is something that is good and not a very low-wage and be expecting them to be very productive with the kind of work they are doing for you.

Low wages doesn't always means low productivity, but it has been seen that when people are well qualified and good at some skill and getting low salary then overall performance effected badly.

Low wages mean low productivity. When there is low wages paid, workers would not be happy to work in such environments especially in business settings that just reducing their wages. We are living in the trends where All clamours is for increase of the wages abd not reductions.
