Match minimum hourly wage for all age groups.
Raise the hourly rate so that people are paid for their work based on what they do to help a business, not on the age they are whilst working.
Most young people work the same jobs, completing the same tasks, just the same as adults over 23 y/o do but still, the difference between the wage of those aged 18 to 20 and 23 onwards is disturbing. In this country you are classed as an adult at 18 and according to the government, are "treated as an adult by the law" and for this to remain true, the money in which we as young adults earn should be equivalent to that of any other adult. Give 18 year olds the living wage.
