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.
A compulsory National Living Wage is due to be introduced in April 2016 for all working people aged 25 and over, and will be set at Â£7.20 per hour. The current National Minimum Wage for those under the age of 25 will continue to apply.
