Raise the national minimum wage for 18-20 year olds

The fact that 18-20 year olds are only entitled to £6.56 per hour for doing the same work as their older colleagues is ridiculous, especially after the effects of a pandemic. Me and many other young people are currently trying to save for university this year.

Young people are the people who need the money the most. 18-20 year olds are often students, and the fact that the government pay us so little for the most demanding areas of work (retail, fast food, bars etc) leave us working ridiculously long hours on top of our studies. The government already exploit us by forcing us into large debt for an education, and this is just more exploitation of us. This needs to change.
