It is fair and unfair that Westerners get more paid than Asians:

Qatar has a mentality of "take home salary" concept. It is funny but most of the GCC countries are still far away from looking at the matter fairly.

Why Westerners get paid more?
:-Country of Origin
:-Lifestyle
:-Mentality of having a white skin working in the company
:-For sure, there would not be another who would "bring down the labour market down";)

Why Asians get paid less?
:-Just check the opposites of all the points

I am sure most of the Asians, even given a similar salary as a Westerner would not go for the same lifestyle as Westerners. Rather would do a lot of banking.. and the position itself would never get vacant until he/she gets retired:))

So Qatar looses spending of a Westerner here
and the company looses hiring of an energetic in the position.

-me an Asian too
