## Description
We are looking to commission a piece of research surveying workers on their views and experiences of working in jobs that pay at - or close to - the NLW. This will bridge the gap between the LPC's broad programme of stakeholder engagement and our internal analysis of large, national datasets. The commissioned research will provide a representative and quantifiable snapshot of workers' views, reaching a diverse group of respondents. This work will help to provide the Commission with a rounded picture of low-paid workers' living standards and experiences.
This call is for funding up to £25,000 + VAT and is for one project only. The project will be completed by the Spring of 2026.
