Summary & key words
The study covered an evidence-based understanding of wage issues in the tea industry, developed and tested a ‘wage ladder tool’ for Malawi, Indonesia (West Java) and India (Assam), and identified the barriers to raising low wages. The broader aim was to build a body of stakeholders with a common concern for ensuring wages progress towards a living wage. The focus was on waged workers on plantations, not on smallholders.
