What the petition asks
I would like to raise the minimum wage for young people, for living expenses such as saving for a first home, a first car etc, as the minimum wage as of now isn’t enough to cover those expenses.
I would like the government to raise the minimum wage for young people as they have things to save up for as young adults such as first cars, moving into their first home etc and the £4.50 as of now isn’t enough to cover the increasing housing expenses.
