Abstract: This report updates to December 2017 the net and gross living wages for December 2015 for Sialkot, which focused on Pakistan’s football manufacturing industry. The living wages are updated to the study month of the most recent calendar year (December 2017) to take into account the amount of inflation since the December 2015 living wage study. Without accounting for inflation, the living wage estimated in 2015 would not be sufficient for workers to have a basic but decent standard of living in 2017 because the purchasing power of the living wage would have decreased with respect to current prices.
