UK government seeks to end age-based minimum wage bands, aiming for a single adult rate.
The UK government is asking the Low Pay Commission (LPC) to consider eliminating age-based minimum wage bands, which it deems "discriminatory."
The LPC will be tasked with recommending a single adult rate for the future.
Currently, the minimum wage varies by age: £12.21 for those aged 21 and over, £10 for 18-20 year-olds, and £7.55 for under 18s and apprentices.
The government aims to ensure a fair deal for low-wage workers while maintaining a competitive economy, with changes to take effect in April 2026.
