Petition To make minimum wage for 18 year old's and over equal

No matter your age, the cost of living is still the same. The difference in minimum wage between those aged 18 and those aged 25 & over is currently £2.06. This increase in wage for those aged under 25 would make a considerable difference in their lives.

More details

There are hundreds, thousands of people within the UK aged under 25 who live with dependants and have rent and bills to pay. A person's age should not impede their remuneration for the same level of work as someone who is simply older than them. I believe the time has come to stop the segregated, illogical pay gap and give people the pay they deserve.
