Insights on living wage from the research of the International Panel of Social Progress

How can we better understand the dynamics of living wages worldwide and their impact on our economies and societies? The International Panel on Social Progress (IPSP), in collaboration with the OECD WISE Centre, is addressing this question through new research on how living wages affect poverty, income distribution, productivity, and informality. This research also explores the enablers and barriers to implementing living wages, examining how public and corporate policies can align to raise wages and support informal workers where economic conditions allow. This webinar, organised in the context of the IPSP Global Social Progress Week, presented preliminary research findings and discussed how they can inform policy initiatives across OECD countries.
