2015 Benchmark Report: Living Wage for Non-Metropolitan Urban Ethiopia, Ziway.
Abstract
This report estimates a living wage for Ethiopia flower farms for July 2015 in the Ziway area. The major components of the living wage estimate include the monthly cost of food for the local family size of five (two adults and three children), housing cost, non-food nonhousing cost, and a small margin for unforeseen events. These calculations are made for the number of workers per family typical in the region. It is intended that this report present a transparent look at the inputs into the living wage estimate provided here, so that action on wages may be bolstered by an understanding of what actually goes into a living wage estimate.
