Such cases may merit a punishment of additional days to a prisoner\u2019s time spent in custody if the prisoner or young person is found guilty.

The Government sets age-related minimum wages in order to protect younger workers, who may otherwise be more vulnerable to being unemployed than older workers.<\/p>

<\/p>

The 2017 Low Pay Commission report (Figure 3.15) shows the unemployment rates for young people not in full-time education in the UK is 31.3 per cent for 16-18 year olds, 15.5 per cent for 18-20 year olds. This compares to 8.4 per cent for those aged 21 to 24 in the second quarter of 2017.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is setting minimum thresholds only and we recognise and commend those employers who seek to set higher rates of pay.<\/p>
