Closed petition Increase the minimum wage for under 18s

We want the Government to raise the minimum wage 16 and 17 year olds. We believe it is unfair that under 18s only have a minimum wage of £5.28/hour.

More details

Many 16 and 17 year olds struggle with money as they don’t have experience handling it, or having much of it. We believe increasing the minimum wage for 16 and 17 year olds would ensure they earn a fair wage and are better prepared for the future.
