The minimum hourly wage in Kenya is around $0,7. A $2/hour equals around $340 per month which is on par with the average entry level salary for Junior Software Devs there who have a salary range of $80 to $550 per month.

However looking at the living costs in Kenya, it seems with the $2 per hour, one would only be able to live paycheck to paycheck.

You're going to have to provide a source for that claim.

Also, $2 USD per hour works out to $39,712 KES (Kenyan Shilling) per month, which ranges from twice their minimum wage to slightly over it.

Huh. Had to check. The average hourly pay in Kenya is like $6, assuming standard workdays and hours. Not sure if those check out, but even if they do 80 hour weeks, it's still over $3.

Are Kenyans that smart? Mentioned everywhere. My uncle hired a Kenyan to develop a business and did it so well for 2500 dollars only, an American developer was charging 6000 dollars and uncle saved 3500 USD. How smart are they, the world is hiring them in almost everything? Lol
