The wage level of laborers in our country was originally determined by the standard of living in the farming villages. Life in the agricultural districts, on which the laborers' wage level based, was led in poverty, and it was hardly possible for the greater part of tenant farmers to maintain even the lowest standard of living. Wage earners sprang up from among the peasantry class because of such utter destitution in which they were confined, and, if we are to understand those conditions characteristic of our country which brought forth the low wage level of these laborers, it is essential that we pursue the reasons why tenant farmers were so badly off. The aim of this thesis, therefore, is to clarify the circumstances which produced these wage earners and their cheap labor by pursuing how farmers earned their living and how they settled, from era to era, their cash accounts in their household budgets. This thesis also aims to make clear the role played by the low wage earners and the influence they exerted on the industry and national life of our country, which was developing as a capitalistic nation. It must be mentioned that, as the problem of wages contains in it numerous elements which are unrelated to economics, it is here dealt with mainly from the viewpoint of "earnings in the family".
