Why does a.minimum wage exist?

4 0

Arguments in favour of a minimum wage mostly hang on the idea that firms have a responsibility to ensure that their workers earn enough to live on. If a firm can’t pay its workers enough to live on, then it isn’t a viable business, because it is dependent on wage subsidies. Of course “enough to live on” depends where you live: the cost of living in London is considerably higher than it is in, say, Newcastle, so a minimum wage that would give a reasonable standard of living in Newcastle is starvation level in London. The campaign for a voluntary Living Wage tries to persuade firms to pay above the current UK minimum wage, which is perceived as being below the real cost of living.

In what ways did the Han Dynasty change policies that the Qin dynasty established?

Lady_Fox [76]

The Han Dynasty changed a few notable policies that were established.

1) The Qin Dynasty banned Confucianism (belief that people are naturally good) and rather focused on Legalism, but the Han dynasty lifted the ban and allowed it to be practiced once again. The Han Dynasty used Confucianism as a model by which to govern.

2) The Han Dynasty reversed the autocratic policies of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty was ruled by a single emperor (which is an autocracy) but the Han Dynasty allowed several leaders to rule and have power rather than one man.

I'm sure there are more, but these ones should do. Hope this helps! :)
