Notes

  1. 1.

    For a detailed description of how to calculate Living Wages according to the Anker methodology, see Anker, Richard and Anker, Martha, Living Wages Around the World, Edward Elgar 2017.

  2. 2.

    Note that this is a very economic approach. Especially with pastoralists there are many other reasons to keep livestock, such as an investment for bad times, to be given as dowry and for status.
