New research from the Living Wage Foundation finds that millions of women in the UK – often cleaners, catering staff and care workers – are likely to be trapped in low-paying, insecure and precarious jobs that pay below the real living wage. It is an important contribution to the debate about working poverty and the challenges facing households during the cost of living crisis. There are now more than 12,000 registered Living Wage employers in the UK.
