And this starts to make the bigger picture more interesting.

Workers are readily available.
Many people are looking for additional work.
A significant part of the workforce operates outside the traditional employee model.

So for a business, sometimes it may simply be easier to hire another person than to automate every little process.

That’s why you walk into a shopping mall and see:

A cashier.
Another person next to them.
Security.
Several cleaners.
People helping customers.
Someone at the entrance.
Someone watching the parking area.

And you think:

“Why are there so many people here?”

Then you start looking at it differently:

“Maybe human labor here is simply more affordable, available and culturally normal than what I was used to.”

And that raises a much more interesting question.

Mentality?
Availability of workers?
Labor costs?
Informal employment?
Labor regulations?
Or all of these together?

I’m not an economist or a labor-market expert. I’m just living here, observing what’s around me and trying to understand why things work the way they do. 🇵🇭
