Abstract: This report updates to May 2017 the living wages we estimated for northern rural Dominican Republic for October 2013. This is done by taking into consideration the amount of inflation in the Dominican Republic since October 2013 (study month) so that the living wage retains its purchasing power. Unless this is done, inflation would erode the purchasing power and value of the living wage and workers who earned the May 2013 living wage would no longer be able to afford to maintain a basic but decent standard of living.
