New national living wage ‘unfair to young workers’
YOUNG people on low pay will earn thousands of pounds less than older colleagues in the same job under the new national living wage, according to new analysis.
The national living wage, due to come in to effect in April next year, will guarantee £7.20 an hour to workers aged 25 and above.
Those under 25 will be paid the minimum wage, which from October is set to rise to £6.70 for over 21s and £5.30 for 18 to 20-year-olds.
