Business for Social Responsibility

Women Thrive when Businesses Implement Living Wages

For women workers' success: convene and guide businesses, establish a women workers' council, and drive local pilot(s) that expand living wages and bolster local economies.

There is no national wage standard that keeps pace with inflation. Women, who are primary caregivers, need a living wage. Companies, armed with data and practical recommendations, can provide living wages that will ensure workforce stability and boost women's livelihoods, leading to increased opportunities and community resilience. We will convene businesses to address common challenges, establish a women workers' council to inform this work, launch local pilot(s) and provide tools for companies to foster success.
