What's considered a "living wage"?

I live in Vancouver and our living wage is around $25 an hour. What's is that suppose to cover?

At $25 an hour, you're looking at around $4,000 a month pre tax.

A 1BR apartment is around $2,400 a month to rent. That's 60% of your pre tax income.

It doesn't seem like $25 an hour leaves you much left after rent.

I think people are against shared accommodations with slumlords, pisspoor living conditions & 800 rent for single and sometimes shared rooms.

Yeah... I remember when I was in my last year of high-school in 2012, dreaming about my own place, seeing 800-1000 one-bedrooms and thinking Id just need a few years to work and save... Unfortunately that is now a fairytale.
