A Living Wage for a minimum standard of livingThe Minimum Income Standard for the United Kingdom (MIS) can be used to identify a Living Wage, based on what people need to earn to support themselves and their families at a minimum acceptable level. In 2011, the MIS team worked with Citizens UK and the Living Wage Foundation to develop The living wage in the United Kingdom: Building on Success. This paper explains the approach of the Living Wage Foundation to setting a living wage outside London, informed by the MIS results. This has now been set at £7.20 an hour. The calculations used are set out in this paper. The rationale and the relationship with the London Living Wage are explained in a paper published by Citizens UK.
