Youth mobility scheme
The Youth Mobility Scheme allows people aged 18-30 to obtain a visa to work in a number of Commonwealth countries.
I think this is ageist and illegal under the Equality Act 2010. The Act states that "If the protected characteristic is age, A does not discriminate against B if A can show A's treatment of B to be a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim."
I do not think there is a legitimate aim and the scheme should therefore be open to all.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
