Call to action for all stakeholders

Stakeholder engagement is crucial to the Anker Research Institute's mission of estimating living wages, as it ensures our research is grounded in diverse perspectives, local realities, and practical applications. By collaborating with employers, workers, unions, policymakers, and civil society organizations, we can develop wage benchmarks that are both accurate and impactful. This inclusive approach strengthens the credibility and relevance of our work, paving the way for meaningful change. We invite all stakeholders to engage with our upcoming studies and help shape the future of fair wages. Below, you will find the projects we are currently working on—reach out to get involved and contribute to this important endeavor.

Our Typical Approach:

  1. During the planning phase, we connect with our local researchers in each country.

  2. We identify key stakeholders—such as unions, non-profit organizations, and companies—whose input is essential to ensuring a fair and accurate study.

  3. We engage and collaborate with these stakeholders before the study begins to align on objectives and priorities.

  4. Throughout the fieldwork, research, and analysis, we maintain regular communication with stakeholders to keep them informed and involved.

  5. Finally, when the report is finished, stakeholders review the study, ensuring their voices are prioritized since they are the ones most directly impacted by the outcomes.
