Curb CEO pay - Force larger companies to pay their workers a fair rate
In a 2020 study by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), a typical FTSE 100 CEO still gets £119 every time the average UK full-time worker earns £1. (compared to £123 in 2018)
At the same time, renting a room in London averages around £780 per month, coming in at 58% of a minimum wage workers paycheck and 49% of a living wage worker (even with London costing). Renting in other parts of the country comes in at nearly half these amounts. For perspective, affordable housing should cost no more than 35% of your post-tax income, as reported by the Institute for Fiscal Studies. (IFS)
