I don't know how the original minimum wage was arrived at, but it was clearly not enough to actually live on, so many working people had to apply for benefits to enable them to afford basic needs. As time went on it seems as if employers, by not paying staff enough money, are effectively being subsidised by the taxpayer who top up the employees pay. In the last few years the government want to reduce benefits, but they can't do that when people who are working hard simply don't earn enough to live on - so they have to force employers to pay more, by hiking the minimum wage up to living wage levels. I simply don't get the age thing to be honest, the gov seem to think that everyone under the age of 21 (or 25) has got someone who will take care of them, odd. |
