TIL: Minimum wage for a 25-year-old is ~30% higher than for a 20-year-old in the UK.
- IanCal 10y agoIt's a fairly recent addition, announced at the same time as a cut to in-work benefits that were mostly targeted at over 25s and a cut to corporation tax.
- pbhjpbhj 10y agoI've never understood this. Hour does a under-25 need less as a basic income. They have the same costs and are giving up the same time. It's really wrong IMO to value 16-25yo lower when considering minimum wages.
