Petition A higher minimum wage for people aged 18-20.

The minimum wage for people aged over 21 will be increasing in april. People who are younger than 21 often have the same needs as people who are over 21. Increasing the minimum wage for people under this age will encourage them to develop enriched futures.

More details

People often can't afford to move out of their homes until they're over 21. If people earn more at a younger age they can save to develop their lives. This creates brighter futures for people who are unable to live with their parents well into their 20s-30s.
