This is less than the figure 10 years ago in 2001 wherein the minimum wage was about 52% of the cost to live decently.<\/p>\n<p>According to IBON, the daily minimum wage of Php404 is just 2\/5 of the estimated average family living wage (FLW) of Php988 in the National Capital Region (NCR) as of March 2011. The FLW is defined as the minimum amount needed for a family of six members to meet their daily food and non-food needs plus 10% allocation for savings. The latest FLW estimates are based on the 2008 FLW data from the National Wages and Productivity Commission of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).<\/p>\n<p>In 2001, the daily minimum wage of Php265 was half of the amount a family needed to live decently at Php509. As the DOLE and the wage boards deliberate on whether to give a wage hike next month, research group IBON urges government to raise wages to a decent level and approximate the wage increase to the estimated family living wage.
