What the petition asks
Young people with family’s are not being paid enough, how are they meant to support their family’s while they’re aren’t even getting minimum wage, all I ask is for everyone who is doing the same job no matter their age get paid the same.
There is an an estimated 40 per cent of Housing Benefit claims by under 25s.
The claims would go down if they were paid equally, And 380,000 young people are claiming housing benefit, because they simply just cannot afford it.
