The methodology seems to be completely flawed. The middle East employers always bench their remuneration structures based on the country they intend to fill up the position. And they do not hire the top talent as most of them are unwilling to move to such social structures for living.
Secondly, the myth of 'senior managers' is not defined and is amongst the most amorphous terms in corporate hoodwinking.
The cost of living being what it is the real diffrence is not much except related to expenses for buying out exclusivity of brands and aspirational living, which most of the migrant workers avoid consciously as the motive for moving to locations like ME & third world countries are beyond that.
The real difference in living cost is housing & transport cost that of late is narrowing down across the locations in terms of rentals & pump price.
The real percieved advantage could be tax free salaries in some locations, but employers do consider pegging the offers keeping those metrics of 'cost to the company' in mind
Personally I feel that the homework & survey study needs to be done a bit more objectivelywith a more wider samples and clearly pre defined terms and methodology.
