Raise minimum wage for people below the age of 18

Petition Details

As a 16 year old myself I have found in multiple jobs or business’s I am being paid severely lower than my coworkers despite doing the exact same job and sometimes more.

Additional Information

I have been getting paid £4.50/h and am aware that my coworkers are getting paid double for the exact same job/ability. If in today’s society we don’t allow unequal pay for different genders so why should age be any different? Doing the same job should mean the same pay regardless of your age.
