Basic Minimum Wages vs Living Wages

THE CORE
About this episode

In today's episode, we're delving into Boeing's recent top management shake-up. With CEO Dave Calhoun stepping down, the big question is: Who will be stepping up to take his place? And could this changing of the guard bring a fresh start for Boeing?

Plus, we're exploring the persistent issue of basic minimum wages and India's ambitious plans to transition to living wages. Will this move address the wage disparity in India? We'll be hearing from Professor Jayati Ghosh, an Indian development economist based at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, USA.
