A bit misleading poster.
1) There’s no mention of how many people actually earn the minimum wage. Is it 0.01% of the population or 25%?
2) Minimum wage isn’t the only possibility. For instance, Switzerland isn’t even mentioned—maybe because they don’t have a minimum wage? It would be more informative to look at something like the 5th or 10th percentile of incomes, or even the median wage for those brackets, to see how much work is really required to get out of poverty.
3) How is poverty defined? Is it absolute or relative poverty we’re talking about here? For example over here in Prague or really in any other big city, you wouldn’t be able to survive on the amount considered the poverty threshold in Czechia. Would that be the same in Japan, or is poverty defined differently there?
