    Don’t ask your government for a living wage. Or your employer. An education that gives you leverage to negotiate a living wage tough… that’s totally a governments responsibility and in its range of possibility. Everything else is a social subsidy which is fine as long as you call it by its name which is disability pay and unemployment pay. Ask your government for that too.

      Teachers are very educated and yet have very low wages. The problem is not that workers are not skilled enough, it is that system isn’t giving them their fair share. All the profit goes to the rich, while poor are getting poorer.
