If we assume that not all income goes toward CoL and remember that not all the world lives at TL8, I imagine it isn't too nuts to say we're looking at Struggling, supporting Status -1, for much of the world.
Thinking about it biologically, an approximate answer might be to have a warm-blooded animal's food consumption be proportional to the square of its ST. So, for example, the "men" in my fantasy world would consume 121% of daily rations, if male, or 81%, if female, and children would need proportionately less.
