What is a Living Wage
A living wage is the hourly amount someone needs to earn to cover basic expenses, including:
- Food
- Clothing
- Rental housing
- Childcare
- Transportation
- Small savings to cover illness or emergencies.
The living wage calculation is currently based on a two-parent family with two children – the most common family unit in BC – and each parent working full-time. The living wage varies across BC based on costs in each region.
