| Subject: Fuckwit: UK Minimum Wage Architect Urges Government to Make Major Reforms Wed Mar 12, 2014 9:59 pm | |
| Britain's government should undertake a major reform of the minimum wage to help tackle the "pervasive problem of low pay", one of the policy's key architects has argued.
Professor Sir George Bain, the founding chairman of the Low Pay Commission (LPC), claimed that the cautious approach of the late 1990s was right for its time when the rate was introduced - but it is now too narrow.
Bain, who has authored a report for the thinktank the Resolution Foundation, argued that the LPC should be given tools to push employers to go beyond the minimum wage, in particular by publishing analysis that shows whether certain sectors could afford to pay more than the bottom rate.
The report also recommends that the LPC publish a minimum wage rate for London.
Bain said this would not be mandatory at first, but would inform debate about employers' responsibilities
