What changed
The Low Pay Commission published a research report presenting findings from a YouGov survey of low-paid workers conducted in autumn 2025. The survey collected data on pay levels, living standards, and working conditions to build a detailed picture of experiences among low-paid workers in the UK.
The research is intended to complement existing quantitative evidence and will inform the LPC's recommendations to the Government on future minimum wage rates and the longer-term development of the National Living Wage. While this publication does not itself change minimum wage rates, stakeholders in employment and labor policy should monitor subsequent LPC recommendations that will draw on this evidence base.
