answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to building an economy that works for everyone, including young people. About 350,000 workers under the age of 25 are expected to benefit from inflation-beating increases in the National Minimum Wage rates in April 2019.</p><p> </p><p>For those young workers, the rates are set as high as possible without damaging their employment prospects, drawing upon advice from the independent Low Pay Commission. The priority is to help them secure work and gain experience and the evidence shows that it is working. The unemployment rate for people aged 16 to 24 is 11.8%, down from 20% in 2010. However, it is still above the unemployment rate for people aged 25 or over (less than 3%), which demonstrates the need to give young people support in getting on the career ladder.</p><p> </p><p>The Government notes the Low Pay Commission’s intention to review whether the current structure of the National Minimum Wage rates remains fit for purpose, and it will carefully consider its recommendations which are due later this year.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 13/03/2019 17:36:28 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
