2019 Benchmark Report: Living Wage Report for Managua, Nicaragua
Abstract
This report estimates a living wage for workers in the capital of Nicaragua, with a special focus on workers in the Las Mercedes Industrial Park and Free Trade Zone near the airport of Managua. The report builds on a previous living wage report carried out in the northwestern part of Nicaragua in October of 2017 covering coffee, bananas and other laborintensive agricultural sectors where workers generally lived in small towns and commuted to work (Andersen and Hernani-Limarino, 2018). Since Managua is the richest part of Nicaragua and the Northwest the poorest region, this report will shed light on the extent to which a living wage estimated for one part of a country might be used in another part of the country.
