Summary
What are necessary components for creating effective, harmonised, and coherent policy initiatives that promote a living income?
Closing the living income gap at scale increasingly depends on coordinated national and regional policy strategies. Yet practical, experience-based insights on how these strategies are built, what motivates the actors who shape them, and what practitioners can do to influence them remain scarce.
The Components for creating living income policy initiatives report, jointly commissioned by Evidensia, LICOP and ISEAL, begins to fill that gap.
Drawing on three in-depth policy case studies and two deep dives, the report examines how living income policy initiatives have evolved in practice, what motivated key actors to support or resist them, and what lessons practitioners can draw from these experiences. It also presents a framework for creating comparable case studies focused on the political economy of living income-related policy.
In this launch webinar, we present the report’s findings and discuss how the lessons can be applied in your own context.
