Higher wages, but insufficient earnings? The missing role of take-home pay in UK job quality
[['eprint_typename_blog_post' not defined]]
The UK has had considerable success in improving gross hourly wages at the bottom of the distribution. However, Thomas Stephens shows that the sufficiency of workers’ overall net earnings – accounting for hours worked, and pay deductions – hasn’t improved in the same way as hourly wages over this same period. He argues for a focus on Earnings Sufficiency, and its key drivers, to improve UK job quality.
