Low pay: needs versus mythical limits

The UK is one of the richest nations in the world, so why are so many of us paid so little? This report interviews individuals feeling the pinch, talks to Living Wage campaigners and discusses low pay with economist and writer Stuart Simpson. Stuart explains higher wages for all are perfectly possible.

This report features on WORLDbytes, the online magazine news channel created by volunteers at WORLDwrite. It aims to get behind the headlines and promote a people-first perspective on a wide-range of issues; the programme’s credo is “don’t shout at the telly, change the message on it”.
