Original Report
2020 Benchmark Report: Living Wage Report for Mochoacán, Mexico
Background
This report is the first of its kind in Mexico for focusing on workers living in an area of the country with urban non-metropolitan and rural populations, and for the methodology used. It follows the guidelines proposed by Martha Anker and Richard Anker (2017), which have been used in more than 40 living wage studies around the world. The methodology is located in an intermediate approach, between studies in which the living wage is estimated based on international minimum standards and location-specific conditions, and those in which an exhaustive investigation of the expressed needs of the population under study is carried out. This methodology is also between studies that exclusively rely on primary data and studies that exclusively rely on secondary data. The Espinosa Yglesias Research Centre (CEEY) has been a pioneer in estimating the living wage in Mexico using a needs-based and public consultation approach. The study by Aban Tamayo et al. (2020) reports CEEY‘s estimate of the minimum income standard required to achieved a decent life in the large metropolitan areas of Mexico, following the approach developed by the Center for Research in Social Policy (CRSP) at Loughborough University, United Kingdom.
The present report is part of a series of living wages reports from the Global Living Wage Coalition (GLWC), which are prepared following the Anker methodology developed by Martha Anker and Richard Anker. This methodology is widely accepted, and has been used to estimate living wages in rural, urban and semi-urban areas of more than 23 countries. The GLWC includes Fairtrade International, Rainforest Alliance, and Social Accountability International (SAI), in partnership with ISEAL Alliance and Richard Anker and Martha Anker.
