<br/><br/> Living wages are becoming an important global concern. Many people believe that they are the keystone that will enable decent work and assist in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The amount that gig workers or independent contractors must make each day in order to make a living salary is known as the "living tariff." In addition to the expenditures of daily life, it also includes the cost of resources needed for the job, such as overhead, taxes, social security, and savings for retirement and illness. The Living Tariff has been devised by the WageIndicator foundation along with GIZ for India comprising of all the 28 states and 7 union territories excluding Ladakh. In this study, the data of all these geographic regions are collected for a comparative and contrast study. The study aims to group the different states of the country based on Minimum Living Tariff and to perform a comparative study. Cluster Analysis and Anova was performed to answer the Research Questions. The findings of the study provides insights that, Tamil Nadu requires high Minimum Living Tariff and Kerala and Lakshadweep requires low Minimum Living Tariff. Recommendations and suggestions have also been provided.- Reproduced <br/><br/><br/>https://sajospsglobal.com/current.html<br/>
