Why then do you and the UCP deem them to be worth the regular minimum wage if they work over 28 hour/week? You can still be supported by your parents and work that many hours. It’s plain and simply an exploitative law that almost certainly wouldn’t survive a human rights challenge. Also their education isn’t free, we all collectively pay for it, as do their parents.
