Abstract
In the present article, we shall consider, first of all, various definitions of a Living Wage; then the elements of a decent livelihood: then the grounds of the claim, wherein will be discussed the moral, religious and social basis of the claim, as well as the corresponding duties of the laborer and employer. This will be followed by a consideration of the claim in concrete, which will show computations based upon the special investigation of manufacturing establishments made by the American and Canadian Census taken in various years. Our conclusion will be some suggested remedies.
