"the Living Wage calculation here where I live was around $20.00 per hour. I can tell you from my experience during the past 5 years as a single individual living in my country that $20.00 per hour is accurate in terms of an actual living wage Currently our minimum wage is about half that at 10.25$. That is not enough to live on. One may be able to survive on that, but we should be approaching such points not from the starting point of “how little can I survive on” or “what’s the bare minimum a human being can survive on” and then basing our wages on this, but rather, how can we empower individuals/ourselves and provide them/us with the necessary resources so that they/we can actually expand, contribute and grow as human beings, and that will require something like a Living Wage."
