Well, to me, its definately a social factor that is at fault here. General identification of anime usually come up with 2 results:
1) Kid's show, or
2) P0rn. (hentai).
To me, general public's perception plays a big part in affecting a certain job's payment. Look at Hollywood celebrities: Had *acting* been labelled as a indecent job of lies/con-artists, Im pretty sure these celebrities would get the exact same treatment/pay-amount as anime/eroge VAs.
That, to me, is the underlying cause of poor wages for people such as VAs.
PS: as many have said, great insight on the industry eggplant.
