  AFW

Asia Floor Wage. The Asia Floor Wage Campaign, a global coalition of trade unions and NGOs that promote living wages in the textile industry. Living Wages were calculated for a few Asian countries – but only for the country as a whole and without taking regional differences into consideration. The FWF uses the AFW Living Wage as a benchmark.
