How to Pay Living Wages

This detailed case study from the Post Growth Guide can help you understand how to pay a living wage. The guide follows the methodology used by a company that makes beaded jewellery in Guatemala. Although the company is small, it provides a practical example of the process and key considerations that are broadly applicable at the manufacturing level. This includes how the company defines a living wage and how it calculates a piece rate living wage. This resource will be most useful to sustainability and supply chain management teams, especially those whose organisations make use of labour-intensive production in low wage regions.
