You can't have a separate minimum wage for teens doing the same job as an adult, but a HS kid looking to make a few bucks at McDonald's doesn't need the motivation of a living wage, they will be happy with the $10/hour. Not sure how to resolve that issue.

Also kids don’t get jobs anymore. (That is hyperbole). But teen employment is down throughout North America regardless of minimum wage and in general due to a lack of desire and not a lack of jobs. I’m too lazy to provide sources though
