High Minimum wage does not neccessarily translate to better standard of living. A key issue regarding Wage is its distribution and gap between two divides.
Within an economy, even a high minimum wage amounts to nought if the income gap beteeen the rich and poor is wide
One of the effective means of achieving a favourable minimum wage in many advanced countriies have Bern to institute policies that redistribute income and bridge the income gap.
These policies include shifting tax burden to the rich, (pays as u earn), taxing luxury goods and. Properties etc.
Some African countries have adopted such policies and its been effective.
Ironivlcally, most rich people get tax exemptions. Their luxuriousl lives are tax free. Only te poor that pays tax..
