Ways to support

Support ARI’S mission to end world poverty

No one can solve poverty alone. But by providing workers and employers and buying companies with the information they need to receive or offer a living wage or a living income, we can help changes lives. All workers around the world should be able to afford at least a basic, but decent standard of living. This includes healthy food, potable water, acceptable housing, primary and secondary education, quality health care, transportation, clothing, and other essential needs including provision for unexpected events.

Each of us has a unique and important contribution to make. By taking action in three key areas, you can do your part to stop poverty.

LEARN

Familiarize yourself with the Anker methodology, and our living wage and income reports. 

  • Research. You can use the Country Index to find the research the ARI has done in countries, or you can browse our research by sector

  • Join the journey. We recommend you read through the full Anker Benchmark reports. It is crucial to understand the research behind our estimates of the cost of a basic but decent life. Also, understanding the local working conditions and why certain wages should be paid is a big part of the living wage and income journey. 

SHARE

Communicate the importance of living wages and living incomes with others.

  • Start a conversation. Discuss the subject of living wages and living incomes with your friends, family, and community. It’s important to share your knowledge and experience on fair renumeration, and the cost of a basic, but decent life.  

  • Get your workplace involved. Can you speak with your workplace about what you’ve learned?
