Yes.
The non-living wage for the college student job comes from only working 20ish hours per week, resulting in a lower total at the end of the month.
If they worked that exact same job, at exactly the same hourly compensation, but for 40+ hours a week, they SHOULD always make a "living wage", because the fact that they are working full-time means they AREN'T a highschool kid or young adult working through college. They are a fully fledged full-time working member of society doing a probably nesseccary job, if its not nesseccary it shouldn't exist, and if it is nesseccary it should pay that full time employed working member of society a wage that this worker can live and raise a family on.
Because thats the point, we need population growth or at least constant population for current capitalist system to work, shrinking population is really bad.
Option 1) you don't give a fuck about the fertility rate in your country and just import a bunch of niggers as cheap workforce to keep your population from shrinking.
Since we're on /pol/ I assume people don't really like option 1)
And Option 2) is design society in a way that on average women get 2-3 kids. This means the vast majority of people in your society should pair up in male-female pairs, get married, and raise some kiddos.
Raising kiddos is work, especially at the start for the first 5ish years its the equivalent of another full time job. So only one of that male-female pair has to be the breadwinner and bring in enogh money to feed the entire family while the other stays at home.
You don't want just the average guy, or even just the median guy to afford that, you want literally >80% of jobs in society having high enough wages to afford that. Including the cashier at seven-eleven, the amazon-warehouse worker grunt, and the burgerflipper at mcdonalds.
Otherwise you're just gonna be below replacement fertility and have to import the niggers.
