UK's new Employment Rights Bill aims to close the wage gap for about 420,000 young workers.

New government measures in the UK are expected to benefit about 420,000 young workers by closing the wage gap between 18-20 year-olds and older employees. The minimum wage for all adult workers will be unified, reducing the pay gap from £2.84 to £2.21 per hour. The Employment Rights Bill aims to address insecure employment, particularly affecting younger workers, by improving their pay and work conditions.
