The Next Step (Classic Reprint): A Family Basic Income: A Family Basic Income (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book explores the development of the living wage doctrine in Australia. It examines the landmark Harvester Case of 1907, which established the principle that employers have a responsibility to provide a living wage for their employees. However, the author argues that the current system of applying a uniform wage rate to all employees, regardless of family size, has failed to provide for the basic needs of many families. The author proposes a new system that combines a basic wage with a child endowment scheme, funded by a tax on employers. This, the author argues, would ensure that all families have access to a reasonable standard of living. The book makes a significant contribution to the debate on how to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of income in society and provides valuable insights for policymakers, economists, and anyone interested in labor relations and social welfare.
