> What's a family? Should it be 2-3 kids max, and then you're on your own?

As far as the specific concept of a living wage, yes.

> A solo adult who doesn't want kids is going to have far lower expenses and "living wage" than a single mother with 6 kids.

The solo adult can enjoy the extra money. And if they start a family later they'll have extra savings to build on. The baseline should be bringing everyone up to the level that they could afford a family, whether they have one or not. We have more than enough productivity and wealth to make this happen.

For someone with 6 kids, they need help from other sources. That goes beyond living wage territory.
