Maybe unit for measuring wealth would be a minimal amount need to
just survive without suffering malnutrition and physical abuse?
Living wage is a term used to describe the minimum hourly wage
necessary for a person to achieve some specific standard of living. In
the context of developed countries such as the United Kingdom or
Switzerland, this standard generally means that a person working forty
hours a week, with no additional income, should be able to afford a
specified quality or quantity of housing, food, utilities, trans****t,
health care, and recreation. This concept differs from the minimum
wage in that the latter is set by law and may fail to meet the
requirements of a living wage.
