Abstract: Living income should be sufficient for a family (of 4 persons in the case of Andhra Pradesh) to lead a decent life, while living wage received by a worker for normal working hours should be sufficient to support herself/ himself and her/his dependents. Rs. 25,269 ($316) per month has been estimated as living income and Rs. 16,077 ($201) as living wage per month for rural Prakasam district. These estimates are considered applicable broadly to rural AP as a whole because of the similarities of agroclimatic conditions, cropping patterns, food habits, etc. This Benchmark report employs the Anker Methodology to determine the living wage and living income for rural Andhra Pradesh (Prakasam district, a leading area of tobacco cultivation in India). This study uses a combination of secondary data and primary data collected through field investigation. The living income estimated in this report is approximately 3.1 times that of the national poverty line family income, and 2.7 times the World Bank international poverty line family income.
