Work should enable people to live with dignity. Yet many African workers are employed in conditions where their income is not enough to adequately meet their basic needs. Insufficient wages contribute to working poverty, reinforce inequalities and limit families’ ability to improve their living conditions. We advocate for wage policies that guarantee fair and equitable remuneration, including effective mechanisms for setting and protecting minimum wages. Economic growth cannot be inclusive if workers who contribute to creating wealth do not benefit fairly from it. Decent work must enable workers and their families to live with dignity.
