We asked which of the options presented by the Low Pay Commission (LPC) you would prefer they do to align the National Minimum Wage (NMW) rate for those ages 18 to 20 with the National Living Wage (NLW).
Those options, along with the percentage of respondents preferring that options, are as below:
|
Option |
% Responded |
|
Reduce the Age of entitlement by one age group at a time |
36 |
|
Align the 18-20 year old rate with NLW over two years |
37 |
|
Align the 18-20 year old rate with NLW over four years |
27 |
As you can see, the results were evenly split between the options presented, however if you group the respondents wishing to see an alignment over a number of years that then forms the vast majority.
Thank you for your responses, this will feed into our response to the LPC consultation and inform their views on how to proceed with their plans to end NMW age bands for all adults in the UK.
