A Fairer London: The Living Wage in London

Since 2006 the GLA Group has been implementing the London Living Wage (LLW).The Group continues to include the LLW as a requirement for contracts that are let or renewed.

We calculate the Living Wage by a combination of two approaches. The first, developed by the Family Budget Unit (FBU), estimates the costs of a ‘Low Cost but Acceptable’ (LCA) budget for a selection of households and calculates the wage required to meet these costs. This is termed the “Basic Living Costs” approach. The second – the “Income Distribution” approach – simply identifies the median income for London (appropriately weighted for 11 household types) and then takes 60 per cent of it.

The Mayor continues to lobby national Government to adopt the London Living Wage across Whitehall.

All annual living wage reports, titled 'A Fairer London', can be found on the [GLA website](http://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/research-and-analysis/gla-economics-publications).

自2006年起，GLA集团一直致力于推行伦敦生活工资（LLW）。该集团持续将LLW作为授予或续签合同的条件。

我们通过两种方法计算生活工资。第一种方法由家庭预算单元（FBU）开发，它估算了一组家庭“低成本但可接受”（LCA）预算的成本，并计算出满足这些成本所需的工资，这被称为“基本生活成本”方法。第二种方法——即“收入分配”方法——简单地确定了伦敦的中位收入（针对11种家庭类型进行了适当加权），然后取其60%。
