A graduated minimum wage is a great idea. If it was $10/16 years, 11/17, 12/18, 13/19, 14/20, and 15/21 it would drive youth employment and discourage adult underemployment. There are downsides with the effect on the poorly educated, but that is something that should be addressed with subsidized trades education and other such programs, not just sticking such people in menial jobs forever while paying them better.
