Not sure if you run a business or involved in employment and skills , supply and demand or stepped wage scales based on responsibility, skills , performance .

These youngsters are building towards those higher skills and responsibilities they them earn more as they climb towards those achievement and goals ,its life learning .

The orginal post was about Labour's carrot to just hand a huge rise to 16 - 18 year olds which in my view will greatly affect those opportunities as employers especially small businesses will be unable to double thier wages and probaly result in reducing their head counts to fund it if its forced upon them .
