Britain's national living wage has resulted in the biggest fall in low pay numbers in four decades

The national living wage in the UK helped cut the number of workers on low pay by more than 300,000 last year rather than being a "jobs-killing disaster" as some had warned, a new report reveals.

The UK witnessed the biggest year-on-year fall in low pay since 1977, but the counrty is still too reliant on low-paid work, the Resolution Foundation said.
