UK government divided over minimum wage increase in face of youth jobs crisis
The UK government is divided over accelerating the minimum wage for 18-20 year olds amid a youth jobs crisis; some fear it worsens unemployment, others cite lack of evidence, while calls persist to honor Labour’s manifesto pledge, with the Low Pay Commission finding no link between wage hikes and youth job losses.
