他们对living wages的假定如下

　The Canadian Living Wage Framework calculates a living wage that would allow two income earners to support a family of four and assumes the following scenario:

• A healthy family of four with two children
• 1 child in full-time daycare, 1 in before and after-school care
• Full-time hours of employment between two parents (What constitutes full-time hours varies across Canada, but is typically between 35-40 hours. For more information, visit here.)
• One parent taking evening courses at a local college to improve employment capacity
• Costs of living including transportation, food, rental housing, clothing, childcare, medical expenses and other
• Inclusion of tax credits, returns and government benefits; namely child tax benefits

The living wage is the hourly rate of pay at which a household can meet its expenses once government transfers have been added and government deductions from wages and government taxes have been subtracted.

While the methodology accounts for a range of costs, taxes and benefits experienced by a family, it does not account for:

• Credit card, loan or other debt/interest payments
• Savings for retirement
• Owning a home
• Savings for children's future education
• Anything beyond minimal recreation, entertainment and holidays
• Costs of caring for a disabled, seriously ill, or elderly family member
• Anything other than the smallest cushion for emergencies or hard times
