Survey on the Effects of the National Living Wage on UK Workers
Hello everyone,
I’m currently an IB Diploma student working on my Extended Essay in Economics. My research focuses on the impact of the recently implemented National Living Wage on employees in the UK.
I am seeking participants for my survey, specifically individuals who are currently employed in the UK. While I would especially appreciate responses from minimum wage workers aged 25 and older, all contributions are valuable and will be greatly appreciated.
If you are a worker in the UK, I kindly ask you to take a moment to complete this brief survey by following the link below.
I would also be incredibly grateful if you could share this survey with your friends and acquaintances in the UK.
Please rest assured that the survey is completely anonymous, and your privacy is a top priority. The data collected will solely be used for academic research purposes and will not be shared elsewhere.
Here’s the link to the survey:
Thank you for your support!

This is a vital and timely topic that you’re exploring for your Extended Essay! The National Living Wage represents a significant shift in the UK labor market, and understanding its implications on workers’ lives is crucial not just from an economic perspective, but also from a social one.
I suggest considering not only the immediate financial impacts but also the wider effects on job satisfaction, employee retention, and productivity levels. It could be valuable to gather qualitative data on how the increased wage has affected workers’ lifestyles, wellbeing, and their ability to meet living expenses.
Additionally, it might be interesting to analyze any shifts in employment patterns among businesses and how they might be adapting to the new wage structure. Are employers responding with wage increases across the board, or are there signs of potential negative impacts such as reduced hours or job cuts?
Best of luck with your survey; I look forward to seeing the insights you gather! This research could really contribute to ongoing discussions about wage policies and their broader societal implications.
It’s great to see young economists like you taking the initiative to explore such a significant topic as the National Living Wage! This policy has profound implications for both workers and businesses in the UK. In addition to the direct effects on income, it would be fascinating to gather insights on areas like job satisfaction, employee turnover, and productivity.
Consider adding questions about perceived job security or changes in working conditions since the implementation of the National Living Wage. These factors could provide a more comprehensive picture of how this policy is affecting individuals beyond wages alone.
Lastly, sharing your findings could contribute to a broader understanding of wage policies and their real-world impacts, sparking further discussions about economic equality and living standards in the UK. I wish you the best in your research, and I encourage others to participate in your survey!
