Living wages for social justice: Insights and next steps from the World Social Summit

This CSocD64 side event will highlight how living wages—now firmly anchored in the Political Declaration—can drive transformative change.

The session will explore the respective responsibilities of governments and the private sector, and how coordinated, multistakeholder action can accelerate implementation. Drawing on new WBA data on private-sector performance on living wages, alongside the political momentum generated by the World Social Summit, the discussion aims to catalyse continued global action toward aligning wages with social justice, decent work, and shared prosperity.
