Rejected petition Equalise the minimum wage to help support young people live their lives

A 23-year old earning £9.50 per hour, working 30 hours a week is paid £320.40 more per month than an 18-year old despite working the same hours, in the same job.

This petition calls for the minimum wage to be equalised. It is time for young people to be paid their worth.
