Abstract
The payment of living wages remains one of the most powerful routes to help people out of poverty, start to tackle inequality, realise human rights and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There is growing recognition that poverty wages pose a significant barrier to progress on all these issues.
This paper shows an exciting new momentum towards living wages, coming from businesses, investors and numerous civil society organisations.
