Post checks of non-food non-housing costs: Introduction

.

Chapter 8 in Living Wages Around the World, 2017, pp 197-205 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Because the estimate of non-food non-housing costs (NFNH) is based on secondary data and not on normative standards, the Anker methodology includes extra checks dubbed post checks on the preliminary estimate for NFNH costs, to ensure that enough is included in NFNH costs for the education of children and adequate health care, because these are considered human rights around the world. A post check for transport costs is sometimes also done when this is a large expenditure for families. Chapter 8 describes the general principles and approaches to carrying out a post check. A description of a transport post check is included in an annex.
