Around 900,000 under-21s across the UK are being left “hugely out of pocket” due to being paid a lower rate of the minimum wage, figures show.
The minimum wage "pay penalty" facing young people this year has been an estimated £2.5billion, according to the Trade Union Congress.
They said this works out at an average of £2,800 in lost in wages for every worker under-21 paid less than the full minimum wage.
