In public policy, a living wage is the minimum income necessary for a worker to meet their basic needs. This is not necessarily the same as subsistence, which refers to a biological minimum, though the two terms are commonly confused. These needs include shelter (housing) and other incidentals such as clothing and nutrition.
The living wage is now set at Â£9.15 an hour in London and Â£7.85 an hour in the rest of the UK. By comparison, the national minimum wage is significantly lower.mage caption The living wage is not the same as the minimum wage.
