Time to Ensure a living Wage Worldwide

In various countries there have been different initiatives to ensure that workers receive a Living Wage, but progress remains stubbornly slow. Just in the UK alone, only one-third of the top 100 listed companies have signed up with the Living Wage Foundation, and much more generally needs to be done across the globe. The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development calls for countries to “Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all.” A Living Wage can contribute significantly to this. Without it, workers cannot provide for their own basic needs and those of their families, leaving them to face poverty and hardship.
