of the laborers should be equal to their standard of living. The
laborers must get so much wages as to maintain their standard
of living. The term standard of living includes along with food,
clothing and shelter all those items of comforts and luxuries to
the consumption of which he has been accustomed. Difference
in wage rate is natural as the standard of living of different
laborers is different.

Mill. According to this theory, wages depend upon two
quantities:

of services of laborers
• The number of laborers seeking employment.
Rate of wage, as per this theory, is determined by the following
formula:

According to this theory, wages cannot rose unless either the
wage fund increases or the number of workers decreases.

Walker. According to him, wages are the residue left over, after
all other factor of production have been paid. It means after
deducting from total production, rent, interest and profit, what
remains is paid to laborers in the form of wages.
• Wages= Total production-Rent-Interest-Profit
• The main feature of the theory is that it lays special emphasis
on the relation between the efficiency of the laborers and
productivity. Greater the efficiency of the laborers more is the
production. As a result, there is the possibility of increase in
wages.
