More on the problem

I've been chatting with Phuong, one of the administrators here. He tells me that the cleaners here probably earn about USD1 per day.

They might own a bicycle, and probably share a room and a bed with two or three other people.

They work in shifts, they sleep in shifts.

Therefore, if you have a 'good job' which pays around USD4-5 per day, there exists a lot of social pressure that you help your family out financially. This doesn't leave a lot of excess capacity to repay loans.
