uin	16466
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2015 answer text <p>Younger workers tend to have less experience than older workers in the labour market, and so there is a risk that too high a wage rate may make them relatively less attractive to employers. So, to minimise any negative impact on employment of younger workers, the National Living Wage is limited to those 25 and over. The Government has not therefore made an estimate of what the fiscal impact of this policy change would be.</p><br /><p>The Office for Budgetary Responsibility estimate that, by 2020-21, the National Living Wage will increase income tax and NICs receipts by around £0.1bn, as set out in Table B.3 in of their July 2015 Economic and Fiscal Outlook. They assume that, by 2020-21, the overall impact of the policy on the public finances is to reduce public sector net borrowing by £0.2bn.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 19/11/2015 15:38:10 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
