Raise the minimum wage for a 16 year old to the same as an 18 year old! |
|
|
Minimum wage for a 16 year old is £4.20 an hour, but at 18 it is £5.90. Many 16 year olds do the same work as their older colleagues, so why is there a pay difference? Prices such as train fares go up a lot at the age of 16, and £4.20 is not enough to pay for prices of transport among other things. |
|
|
Many 16 year olds are expected to start becoming self sufficient at 16, paying for transport and their own clothes, phone contracts etc. Working long hours on £4.20 is really not allowing 16 year olds to be able to afford such things. As well as this, we cannot save for things such as a car or even put money towards university fees in the future. As long as we’re working the same hours and doing the same jobs, the £1.70 pay difference an hour isn’t fair. |
