24. SJI Ten Minute Lessons Ep6: Minimum wage employment and the Living Wage, an explainer
More than 120,000 people were working for the minimum wage at the end of 2019. Is this enough to live a decent standard of living in Ireland? And if not, what is?
In the 6th episode in the SJI's Ten Minute Lessons series, Eamon Murphy analyses the key findings of the CSO's most recent report on minimum wage employment in Ireland, and explains the main differences between the National Minimum Wage and the Living Wage.
The purpose of our SJI's Ten Minute Lessons series is to educate and inform listeners on a particular area of policy, giving a brief overview and hitting on the key points that people need to know. They are intended to be short introductory tutorials to often-complex policy areas!
