Rejected petition Balance out the national minimum wage across age groups

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you mean by "Balance out the national minimum wage across age groups".

You could start a new petition calling for the national minimum wage to be the same for everyone, regardless of age, if that's what you would like to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
