Is the minimum wage enough to survive on?

Mind the growing gap between the minimum and living wages, the difference between the two is now about $6 an hour, with official increases on Wednesday. The adult minimum wage is $23.95 cents an hour after a $0.45 increase. That's about $958 dollars for a 40 hour week, before tax. On the other hand, the living wage is officially going to $29.90 an hour or about $1200 before tax a week. Charles Waldegrave, from the Family Centre Social Policy Research Unit spoke to Lisa Owen.
