2018 Benchmark Report: Living Wage Report for Rural Belize
Abstract
This report estimates a living wage for rural Belize for May 2018.1 It does this using two different types of analysis. This includes the usual Anker methodology approach described in Anker and Anker (2017) whereby seconday data from existing household surveys are combined with primary data collected in new fieldwork, as in a typical Anker living wage benchmark study (see Global Living Wage Coalition website for examples www.globallivingwagecoalition.org). But unlike other Anker living wage benchmark studies, non-food non-housing costs are estimated in part using data for neighboring countries and an international cross-section analysis, because the national secondary data on household expenditures are missing for Belize. Also unlike other Anker methodology living wage benchmrk studies, this report also refers to an Anker Reference Value for rural Belize based on the Anker Reference Value methodology, which itself is based on a rigorous statistical analysis of 40 internationally comparable and quality-assured Anker methodology studies spread across 23 low-income and middle-income countries carried out primarily under the auspices of the Global Living Wage Coalition
