Rejected petition Change minimum wage to not be age segregated.

People of all ages should not be earning but still living in poverty. Things do not cost less for under 25s, so why should they be paid less. It is incredibly unfair for people to paid different wages for the same jobs, just because someone is older or younger.

Under 18 years old: £4.35
25 and older: £8.21
