Kurzbeschreibung:
For brands interested in working towards living wages, this paper provides tools to calculate realistic estimates of how much a wage increase for the lowest-paid workers at a factory will cost in total, and at per-garment and per-style levels.
While this paper is written with FWF’s member companies and other clothing brands as the primary audience, both trade unions and factory owners, who have a role in any implementation of the methodology, will hopefully find the paper of interest as well.
Specifically, the methodology addresses three related questions:
- How to calculate the total cost of bringing a factory’s lowest-paid workers up to any given
living wage benchmark – e.g. creating a wage ‘floor’ in a factory - How to incorporate the increase in wages into normal product costing systems, in a transparent
and verifiable manner - How to ensure that increased costs can be shared fairly among all of a factory’s customers,
without violating EU competition law
