Welcome to the Fair Pay Network website
Have you ever considered why 57% of British children who fall below the poverty line live in households where at least one adult is in work?
Have you ever wondered why certain jobs are deemed low-pay jobs, even when they involve roles such as caring for our loved ones in times of illness or old age?
Have you ever stopped to think about the consequences of in-work poverty and how much a low-pay culture costs each and every one of us?
The Fair Pay Network is a national coalition working to change the climate of opinion about low pay in the UK. We have brought together the key national organizations involved in the campaign against low pay into a single network, and are establishing a clearing house for information on fair pay.
We promote national concern to achieve better, fairer pay levels for all workers. We also work to raise awareness of low pay as a social injustice that adversely effects the overall national poverty equation.
We believe that the UK's high levels of wage inequality are not simply the result of immutable economic forces and that the responsibility for ending low pay should be shared among government, employers, local authorities, consumers and trade unions.
We encourage government, employers and consumers to support fairly paid work by highlighting research on and around issues of low pay and seeking to challenge false statements about low pay.
