Excerpt from The Human Needs of Labour
I do not believe for a moment that in the future we shall allow millions of our fellow countrymen, through no fault of their own, to pass through life ill-housed, ill-clothed, ill-fed, ill-educated. But if their conditions are to be remedied, the present scale of wages for un skilled labourers must be materially raised.
What are the human needs of labour? At what cost can they be supplied? Can industry bear this cost? And, if not, can it be met in any other way? These are the questions I attempt to answer in this book.

Excerpt from The Human Needs of Labour
"Men accept the doom, the blessing of work; they do not dispute the necessity of the struggle with Nature for existence. They are willing enough to work; but even good work does not necessarily insure a proper human subsistence, and when they protest against this condition of things they are told that their aims are too 'materialistic' Give them relief from their materialistic anxiety; give them reasonable certainty that their essential material needs will be met by honest work, and you release infinite stores of human energy for higher efforts, for nobler ideals, when
"'Body gets its sop, and holds its noise, and leaves soul free a little.'"
Mr. Justice Higgins,
High Court of Australia, Melbourne.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the link between living wages and essential human needs in industrialized society, with a specific focus on families with children. Drawing on historical data, the author analyzes the challenges faced by working-class families, particularly in meeting food, housing, clothing, and other basic requirements. The author argues that the traditional approach to minimum wage policies, which prioritizes individual needs, is inadequate and fails to address the unique financial burdens faced by families with dependents. Through extensive research, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted relationship between income, societal well-being, and the ability of individuals to provide for their families, shedding light on the critical role of fair wages in fostering a more just and equitable society.
