Labour Pledges £10 Minimum Wage For Under-18S

Sounds good – but could it rebound? Will it deter business from employing the young in favour of, in effect, getting better value for money from older, more experienced staff?

I don't really see the logic there, and it makes no sense that a 24-year-old will earn 51p/hour less, currently, than a 25-year-old (assuming both are on minimum wages). However I realise that the original post was referring to 16/17-year-olds primarily. Sorry for the oversight. But still, does raise the question: if you object to such a high wage for 16- and 17-year-olds (ie, still children), do those objections carry over to the idea of equalising the Minimum Wage for every adult? In the latest round of increases, too, the disparity between 21-24 and 25+ age group workers even grew (by 6p/hour), as did that between 18-20 and 21-24 age group workers (7p/hour).
