Living Wage Movement

The Living Wage Movement advocates for paying workers a wage that covers the basic costs of living, such as housing, food, healthcare, and transportation, allowing them to support themselves and their families. This is often higher than the minimum wage, which may not be sufficient to meet essential needs. Supporters believe that fair wages improve quality of life, reduce poverty, and boost local economies. The movement has gained traction in various sectors, encouraging businesses and governments to adopt policies that ensure workers earn enough to lead a dignified life.
