Kurzbeschreibung:
FWF is the sole author of this report. In what follows we look at several aspects of living wages. We first look at current wage levels and compare them to available living wage benchmarks. How much would labour costs need to increase in order to ensure that base wages align with living wage benchmarks? We then consider the implications of wage increases for product costs, both for brands and consumers. How much will the price of some sample outdoor products rise if living wages are paid?
In the process of seeking initial answers to such questions, this study helps to advance FWF’s
methodology for measuring what we have dubbed the ‘living wage factor.’ It also enhances
our understanding of the impact of living wage increases for FOB (i.e. freight on board, or the
per product price paid to factories) and retail prices.
