Our report on #NationalLivingWage and young people

YEUK Ambassadors at Parliament

Today the new National Living Wage comes into force so that workers over the age of 25 will now earn £7.20 however for anyone aged 21 to 24 they will still be paid the minimum wage of £6.70. With Under 21 to 18 and 16 – 17 staying at the same wage also. So what does this mean for those workers under 25? At Youth Employment UK we have now written a report looking at the impacts it could have to young people and it was co-written with Youth Ambassador Lloyd Ross.
