Feb 11: Promoting a Just Wage Economy
Promoting a Just Wage Economy:
What makes any given wage just or unjust?
- Concerned that wages for most Americans have been flat for four decades?
- Worried that economic inequality between the rich and everyone else is at its most extreme since the 1920s?
- Wondering how to improve people's pay in an era of rising housing, health care, and higher education costs?
A group of scholars and students from the Higgins Labor Program at the University of Notre Dame has developed a Just Wage Framework & Online Tool to probe this central question.
Designed to engage stakeholders from across the spectrum — including employers, workers, unions, policymakers, community organizations, and faith groups — the Just Wage Initiative fosters discernment, dialogue, and deeds in promotion of a fairer, more inclusive economy.
Join us to learn about our new Just Wage Tool and participate in this urgent conversation about how to tackle poverty and income inequality.
