Giving workers a decent standard of living
About us
Giving workers a decent standard of living The topic of living wage has exploded into public consciousness, from fast food workers in the US to global clothing companies in Bangladesh. A living wage allows a worker to afford a decent standard of living for his or her family, with a little extra “just in case." The legal minimum wage too often falls far short of this concept, leaving workers around the world in poverty. An unprecented collaboration Seven standards systems have made a joint commitment and launched an unprecedented collaboration in the form of the Global Living Wage Coalition, recognising the need for a shared approach to measuring living wage and more coordination in living wage implementation efforts. The long term goal and shared mission of Global Living Wage Coalition members is to see improvements in workers' conditions, including wage levels, in the farms, factories and supply chains participating in their systems. The coalition publishes region specific living wage benchmark reports in many countries using a state-of-the-art methodology developed by coalition partners Richard Anker and Martha Anker. The benchmark and wage gap studies help involve a range of organisations in informed living wage discussions, including supply chain partners, workers and trade unions. These dialogues and the wage-related requirements in coalition members’ standards also encourage stronger action to increase wages. Who’s involved? The coalition is made up of Fairtrade International, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), GoodWeave International, Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN), Social Accountability International (SAI), Rainforest Alliance (RA), and UTZ, in partnership with ISEAL Alliance and Richard Anker and Martha Anker.

This picture was taken while we were in Nigeria with local researchers collecting information from local residents and workers. This recent Nigeria report estimates a living income (and the living wage which can be found in the annex) for rural areas in the states of Cross River and Benue in Nigeria. It uses the Anker Methodology, whereby secondary data from existing household surveys are combined with primary data collected in new fieldwork, as in a typical Anker Methodology living wage and income benchmark study.

During the Living Wage and Living Income IDH summit in Amsterdam this week, the Global Living Wage Coalition hosted an event to celebrate 10 years of the GLWC. We presented a short video that showcased why the Global Living Wage Coalition was formed, how it started and what its achieved over the last 10 years. This video is a beautiful opportunity to meet the trailblazers who started the GLWC, the expert global researchers behind the Anker estimates and the champions behind the standard setters who are turning the research into action. Anker Research Institute is proud to be part of the GLWC and grateful for the unwavering support and collaboration throughout the years from the GLWC’s members. The GLWC’s commitment to utilizing our living wage and living income estimates and advocating for living wages has been instrumental in advancing all our missions. Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us. Special thanks to @Dayanna Mejia for creating a beautiful video and to our members and contributors.

Most country wide and global estimates use web-based data collection and do not address within-country differences in living wages and living incomes. The ARI ONLY use data from transparent reputable sources and consult with local stakeholders for research and review. The Sub-National Estimations are comparable between themselves and with Anker benchmarks and Anker Reference Values, keeping the consistency and the comparability of all Anker Estimates worldwide. This is important as the correct number is vital in ensuring stakeholders have the right information, they need to close the living wage gaps, and these sub-national estimates are the answer to this problem See link below to read more about Sub-National Estimates. https://buff.ly/3XctOOh #livingwages #livingincome #subnationalestimates #Brazil
