Okey... what about the 19 year old who is paying rent? Or the 19 year old whose parents let them live in their home who works to afford collage tuition (instead of working to afford rent)? Why should a 17 year 9 month get paid less to do the same job as a 18 year 1 month old in the same circumstances (or where-ever they set the "youth" cutoff)?
Work is work. You shouldn't get paid less to do the same job based strictly on age and what you do with the money (be it rent/tuition/spending) should be irrelevant... you get paid for the job you do not for what you do with the money after you earn it.
