That comparison is a bit extreme because you are comparing an above median rich person in the west and a poor person in India. If you compare medianincomes, then India and the USA are just 10x apart. Not 60x.
I am about 2⁄3 median income for a full time year round worker in the USA, though I assume median for reasonable definitions of “the west” is lower than for the USA.
