A family wage is a wage that is sufficient to raise a family. This contrasts with a living wage , which is generally taken to mean a wage sufficient for a single individual to live on, but not necessarily sufficient to also support a family. As a stronger form of living wage, a family wage is likewise advocated by proponents of social justice . Meaning The notion of a family wage traditionally proposes a household consisting of a nuclear family with a single wage earner, namely the man, with the wife staying home and raising the children, and thus the premise that the man s wage should support his wife and their children. This is in contrast to a multi generation household, consisting also of the previous generation, or to single parent households or dual earners. With the entry of women into the paid labor force, this model has been complicated, with some households having two wage earners, some one, and others none see feminist movement for context and discussion.

Wage insurance is a form of proposed insurance that would provide workers with compensation if they are forced to move to a job with a lower salary. The idea is usually proposed as a response to outsourcing and the effects of globalization , although it could equally be proposed as a response to job displacement due to increasingly productive technology e.g. factories, or computers . Economic consensus generally holds that in both cases the integration of the global economy through free trade, on one hand, and greater technological efficiencies, on the other the changes will have a net benefit across the world. However, economic theory also indicates that, while people over the aggregate will be better off, many individuals will not be able to keep their current job at their current wages. Those individuals may be able to retrain and move to more highly paid wages, and the reduced cost of goods which is likely to result from either case under consideration may offset at least some of the wage loss. These compensating effects are likely to take several years to come about, however, and some people might never be fully compensated by normal market mechanisms. Wage insurance would offer compensation in these situations. History The idea of wage insurance has been tested as early as 1995 in Canada s Earnings Supplement Project. Robert Litan and Lori Kletzer proposed the idea for wage insurance in United States in a 2001 paper. The basic concept became the United States Department ...

Wage regulation refers to attempts by a government to regulate wages paid to citizens.

Germany is currently debating whether to introduce its own. Collective bargaining main Collective bargaining Collective agreements between trade unions and employers can regulate wages of workers according to the needs of the business. Arbitration main Arbitration seealso Australian labour law Arbitration involves makes collective agreements between trade unions and employers legally binding and mediated through a state appointed judge or magistrate. Economic labour theory main Labour economics An economic analysis of the law holds very simply that any intervention in a contract between two parties creates an inefficient labour market. Wages kept artificially high, by imposing any administrative or monetary costs on employers distorts the labour market equilibrium. For a national economy in a globalised world, that means jobs will go overseas and the unemployment rate rises. Major proponents of this sort of labour economics include Nobel Prize winner from the University of Chicago, Professor Gary Becker . Professor Becker keeps a blog with well known academic and judge, Richard Posner . Posner is a lawyer and economist, and wrote a book called Economic Analysis of Law . His starting assumption is that unions are the cartelisation of the labour market. Both would agree, that if its aim is to improve the living standards of society, wage regulation defeats itself. Posner says, Economics is not a theory about consciousness. Behaviour is rational when it conforms to the model of rational choice, whatever the state of mind of the chooser. ref Posner, Richard, 1998 Economic Analysis of Law , 5th ....

Unreferenced date August 2007 The wage curve is the term used to describe the negative relationship between the levels of unemployment and wages that arises when these variables are expressed in local terms. According to David Blanchflower and Andrew Oswald 1994, p. 5 , the wage curve summarizes the fact that A worker who is employed in an area of high unemployment earns less than an identical individual who works in a region with low joblessness . An explanation for the Wage Curve One way to understand the wage curve is as follows. The labour supply of each individual is positively correlated to wages, therefore the higher is the hourly wage offered, the more hours an individual is willing to work. However, there is a limit to which every person would be willing to sacrifice an hour of leisure or rest, for an hour s worth of wages. Let s say that X is the maximum amount of hours a person can work, and A is the minimum hourly wage rate he expects in return. Any wage B, greater than A, will increase the worker s daily wage without increasing the hours of work. So if you need more hours of work than X, you need to hire more people. Say you need to purchase Y hours of labour from the labour market. Let us assume that Y 4X. This means that Y is four times as much as one labourer s maximum labour offer. If you pay A an hour then you can hire 4 labourers to work for X hours each. However, depending on the labour market conditions, other options are open Say that there are not very many jobs in the labour market, unemployment is high and a lot of people are under employed working much ... for you.
