Low Pay Commission | Could starting National Living Wage at 18 be a boon to business, or a net negative?

The Low Pay Commission (LPC) has recommended that the national living wage (NLW) should be paid to all over-18s instead of starting at 21.

This move, if implemented, would mark a departure from the current system where young adults between the ages of 18 and 20 are paid a lower minimum wage rate.
