This report looks at the history of the minimum wage and living wage in Ontario and makes the case for a living wage as an essential tool to help reduce income inequality. The report was written for Ontario's first ever living wage conference, hosted October 11 and 12, 2012 in Toronto by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives' Ontario office.
