I’m asking because I get mixed answers because some say a living wage should be that you can live on your own and/or support a family off of it including all necessities but I don’t know of one country In the world where with the minimum wage with one earner it pays enough for a person to live by themselves or to be able to support a family off the one income with a minimum wage.
I have had some explain a living wage as being able to do that and I’ve had others explain it’s about making enough for the necessities to live (healthcare, food, utilities, phone, transportation etc) but living arrangements could be with roommates.
I’m just curious what the consensus is here on what a living wage would/should cover.
