Employment management Living wage can be defined as an income level that goes beyond just affording necessities such as food, shelter and clothes.

The living wage was introduced mainly in response to low wages and widening gap of income between low paid employees and high paid employees. Thus, for that reason people are facing problem to achieve the minimum acceptable living standard especially for those at the bottom household. Numerous countries all around the world have been implementing the living wage and each have been using several different methods to estimate the living wage.
