生活在世界各地的工资

工资是绝大多数工人和世界各地的生活水平的主要决定因素。本手册描述了一种衡量构成体面但基本的生活水平的新方法以及赚取多少工人，使得研究人员可以估计世界各地的可比生活资工资，并确定生活工资与普遍工资之间的差距。

The new, practical methodology in this manual draws on 10 years of research and experience to clearly explain each step in the estimation process, based on standards for a low-cost nutritious diet, healthy housing, and all other needs including decent health care and children’s education. It stresses transparency and the need for time- and place-specific living wage estimates, and is replete with examples from country studies that have put it to the test. The authors describe how living wages can be estimated in locations and countries where secondary data are limited and make new, practical recommendations on how to value in kind benefits as partial payment of a living wage.
