I know lots of people at UK universities in junior positions - sometimes even fixed-term contracts - on way less than 29K, who are still expected to work stupid hours.
Or at least, no-one tells you that you have to officially, but when you inverview for moving up to a permanent contract you don't want to be the person with the weakest publication profile.

No, but if someone on £58k is expected to work unreasonable amounts of overtime without sufficient compensation they probably won't suffer too much if they decide to switch jobs.

Eh. IMO, almost anyone with a full time job is in the same position, with few exceptions everyone spends up to their means anyway.

I really hate that we should accept switching jobs as a solution instead of fixing the root cause.
You'd need to tweak the multiplier in different countries dependent on inequality.
