  • The Living Wage in Iowa: the Effects on Families and Businesses
    Running Head: THE LIVING WAGE IN IOWA 1 The Living Wage in Iowa: the effects on families and businesses. Tracie Behr, Molly Driscoll, Hans Erickson, Tanya Kaenkumchorn, Jeff Pilz Drake University THE LIVING WAGE IN IOWA 2 Abstract This paper explores the cost of living in Iowa. The paper looks at nine communities throughout Iowa, both urban and rural, in calculating the cost of living in Iowa. This calculation is then used to determine what an average Iowan would need to be paid per hour to make a “living wage.” The paper then explores the effect of raising wages on businesses through looking at companies that currently pay minimum wage, companies that pay more than minimum wage but instead pay a “living wage”, and through a survey of the attitudes of small businesses in the nine Iowa communities. THE LIVING WAGE IN IOWA 3 The Living Wage in Iowa: The effects on families and businesses The Issue Currently there is debate going on at the local and national level related to raising the federal and state minimum wage. The President of the United States would like to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 per hour over a three-year period. Similarly, Iowa House Democrats recently introduced a bill to raise the state minimum wage to $10.10 per hour by January 2016 (Bulman, 2014). Proponents and opponents of raising the minimum wage vehemently defend their position as either a way that will bring people out of poverty and boost the economy or as a way to kill small business and raise the unemployment rate.

  • The National Living Wage and Falling Earnings Inequality
    The National Living Wage and falling earnings inequality Abigail McKnight and Kerris Cooper Contents Key findings Implications for policy and practice The National Minimum Wage and the National Living Wage Earnings inequality and the NMW/NLW Relationship between NMW/NLW and earnings at 10th percentile Minimum wages can reduce inequality when set high enough Data Appendix: Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings Acknowledgements About the publication and the authors CASEbrief 38 Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion March 2020 London School of Economics Houghton Street London WC2A 2AE CASE enquiries – tel: 020 7955 6679 Key findings • Inequality in weekly and hourly earnings has fallen since the introduction of the National Living Wage in April 2016. This is the first rapid fall since at least the late 1970s. • The replacement of the National Minimum Wage with the more generous National Living Wage for employees aged 25 and over has led to a compression in the lower half of the wage and weekly earnings distributions. • The National Living Wage now touches the 10th percentile of the wage distribution for all employees (which includes lower paid part- time employees) and the gap between the minimum wage rate and the 10th percentile of the wage distribution for full-time employees has narrowed markedly. Implications for policy and practice • Set high enough, with sufficient ‘bite’, minimum wages can be effective at reducing wage and earnings inequality. • Without a minimum wage (set either through collective bargaining or legislation), market set wages result in low paid workers being paid even lower rates. Increases in their wage rates, to rates approaching 60% of median pay, can be achieved without substantial loss of employment.

  • Addressing Inequality Through Wage Policy
    Addressing inequality through wage policy Manuela Tomei Director, WORKQUALITY ILO Geneva 1 Why use wage policy to reduce inequality? • In high-income countries, growing wage inequality has been the most important factor in the increase in inequality since the 1980s • In emerging countries where inequality has fallen in the last 15 years, such as in Brazil or Argentina, this was in part a result of reduced wage inequality • Social transfers can correct inequalities in part but do not address the source of the problem • So, both types of policies need to be combined 2 Wages as a proportion of household income (households with at least one member of working age) Developed WAGES are usually between 60% and 80% of total household income Emerging & developing WAGES are between 30% and 60% of total household income, depending on level of self-employment 3 The ILO has long regarded wage policy as an important tool for social justice • The ILO Constitution calls for “policies in regard to wages and earnings … designed to ensure a just share of the fruits of progress to all and a minimum living wage to all employed and in need of such protection”. This call was repeated in the 2008 Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization • The new report of the Global Commission on the Future of Work calls for the establishment of a “Universal Labour Guarantee”, which would include fundamental rights, maximum limits on working hours, protection of safety and health at work, and an “adequate living wage” 4 An adequate minimum wage • Minimum wages have contributed to reducing wage inequality in countries, from Brazil, to China, Turkey or the Russian Federation.

  • Living Wage & Income Position Statement
    Living Wage & Income Position Statement INTRODUCTION We believe that all individuals deserve the opportunity to earn a living wage & income including the remarkable and diverse group of people who work at The Hershey Company and the many individuals who make their living within our broader supply chain. Hershey recognizes the concepts of living wage and living income as human rights and that mandated minimum wages are not always sufficient to allow workers a basic, but decent, standard of living including; but not limited to adequate housing, food, access to education, childcare and savings for unexpected events. Furthermore, within our extended supply chain, lack of income for smallholder farmers is a root cause of poverty, which increases the risk of other human rights violations such as child or forced labor as well as deforestation. Lastly, we note the clear linkages between wages & income and achieving many of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. As a result, we are taking action to maintain our strong pay practices within our Hershey operations including continuing to pay a living wage to full-time Hershey employees across our global locations. We are also establishing new partnerships and programming in our cocoa supply chain that will allow us to: • Directly measure farmer incomes on Cocoa For Good Farms in Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire to better target our programs and investments focused on improving incomes • Strengthen our engagement in the pre-competitive platforms and multi-stakeholder collaborations we feel are critical to enable an environment ultimately needed to promote a living income for cocoa farmers We will revisit the focus of our commitments in 2023 to assess our progress as well as the opportunity for new programming in other parts of our operations and extended supply chain.

It emerged that too many parents were working two jobs just to make ends meet and so had no time to spend with their children. They worked hard but couldn’t earn enough to afford a decent standard of living. From these discussions the Living Wage campaign was born. There are now over 400 accredited Living Wage Employers across the UK. We have seen the first ever Living Wage Olympics and the campaign has put £200 million into the pockets of 45,000 low paid workers1. After twelve years of campaigning on the Living Wage we would now like to share some proposals for Government. These proposals are the result of extensive consultation with our Principal Partners, with employers, and with the member communities of Citizens UK.

  • National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage
    NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE AND NATIONAL LIVING WAGE Low Pay Commission Remit 2017 August 2017 NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE AND NATIONAL LIVING WAGE – LOW PAY COMMISSION REMIT 2017 The Government is committed to delivering an economy that works for everyone. Through the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage, the Government is ensuring the lowest paid are fairly rewarded for their contribution to the economy. The independent work of the Low Pay Commission (LPC) continues to play a central role in helping to achieve these ambitions. The LPC’s recommendations will continue to guide the Government as it sets the National Minimum Wage rates with the objective of helping as many low-paid workers as possible, without damaging their employment prospects. The Government would like the LPC to monitor, evaluate and review the levels of each of the different National Minimum Wage rates (16-17, 18-20, 21-24 age groups and apprentice rates) and make recommendations on the increase it believes should apply from April 2018 in light of this objective. The National Living Wage was introduced in April 2016 for workers aged 25 and over and has already directly benefitted over a million hard-working people across the UK. The Government asks the LPC to monitor and evaluate the National Living Wage and recommend the level to apply from April 2018. The ambition is that it should continue to increase to reach 60% of median earnings by 2020, subject to sustained economic growth. After 2020, the National Living Wage will rise by the rate of median earnings, so that people who are on the lowest pay benefit from the same improvements in earnings as higher paid workers.

    GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA Department of Employment Services MURIEL BOWSER DR. UNIQUE MORRIS-HUGHES MAYOR DIRECTOR LIVING WAGE ACT FACT SHEET The Living Wage Act of 2006, D.C. Official Code §§ 2-220.01 – 2-220.11, provides that District of Columbia government contractors and recipients of government assistance (grants, loans, tax increment financing) in the amount of $100,000 or more shall pay affiliated employee wages at no less than the current living wage rate. Effective January 1, 2021 until June 30, 2021, the living wage rate is $15.00 per hour. Effective July 1, 2021, the District’s Minimum Wage will increase again based on the CPI as of December 31, 2020. Subcontractors of D.C. government contractors who receive $15,000 or more from the contract and subcontractors of the recipients of government assistance who receive $50,000 or more from the assistance are also required to pay their affiliated employees no less than the current living wage rate. “Affiliated employee” means any individual employed by a recipient who receives compensation directly from government assistance or a contract with the District of Columbia government, including any employee of a contractor or subcontractor of a recipient who performs services pursuant to government assistance or a contract. The term “affiliated employee” does not include those individuals who perform only intermittent or incidental services with respect to the government assistance or contract, or who are otherwise employed by the contractor, recipient or subcontractor. Exemptions – The following contracts and agreements are exempt from the Living Wage Act: 1. Contracts or other agreements that are subject to higher wage level determinations required by federal law (i.e., if a contract is subject to the Service Contract Act and certain wage rates are lower than the District’s current living wage, the contractor must pay the higher of the two rates); 2.

  • OXFAM, Steps Towards a Living Wage in Global Supply Chains
    OXFAM ISSUE BRIEFING DECEMBER 2014 STEPS TOWARDS A LIVING WAGE IN GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS Cambodian garment workers travelling to work in Phnom Penh, 97 percent of whom are women. They earn between $3 and $5 a day and many suffer from malnutrition1. 2014 has been a year of unrest and violence, with demands for an increase in the minimum wage from $100 to $177 per month. Photo: Emma Hardy/Oxfam ‘Peace and harmony in the world requires an adequate living wage’. International Labour Organization Constitution (1919) Almost a century after the ILO Constitution recognized the need for workers to earn a living wage, the question of whether wages enable workers to meet their needs and those of their families has gained renewed momentum. Much has been written on the issue, but very little that assesses how companies are implementing it, and the outcomes. In this paper, we outline the root causes of low wages, the barriers to ensuring a living wage is paid and the compelling reasons for responsible companies to act now. We give credit for steps taken in a range of sectors, provide a framework for deeper change and signpost initiatives that are aligned with this. The aim is to help companies who source from developing countries understand and tackle the issue and see what success looks like from an Oxfam perspective. www.oxfam.org THE ISSUE OF A LIVING WAGE Over the last 25 years, income from labour has made up a declining share of GDP across low-, middle- and high-income countries alike.2 As Oxfam highlighted in its 2014 report ‘Even It Up: Time to End Extreme Inequality’, this is a key driver of growing inequality which is harmful both for society and the economy.3 A living wage4 does more than keep people out of poverty.
