The national minimum wage is to rise from £5.35 to £5.52 an hour from October 2007. The rate for workers aged 18-21 will rise by 15p to £4.60 an hour from £4.45, while workers aged 16 and 17 will get a 10p rise to £3.40 an hour from £3.30.

The new rates still fail to address the age-related pay gap. British Youth Council argues there should be equal pay for equal work and all young people should be entitled to a living wage.

Do you think young people are paid less than adults, simply because of their age and because of their capabilities or responsibilities?
