“Job losses due to sharply higher youth wage ‘- NU.nl

This emerges from a study by the Central Planning Bureau (CPB). A limited increase has almost no effect.

The study commissioned by the Ministry of Social Affairs is Thursday brought out. Especially jobs of less than twelve hours a week would be lost. A sharp increase could lead to higher youth unemployment and ensure that young people give up their education.

Trade unions are campaigning for the abolition of the minimum wage, which is lower than the wage for adults. Last month it was announced that youth wages will be abolished in the new collective agreement for the sports sector. Young people in this industry will now be rewarded as adults.

The House asked Minister Asscher out last September with a plan for a higher wage for young people. Later this year Asscher with a view. The SER still bends over the legal minimum wage
