I’m currently arguing with my friends about this. They think a 16 year old and an 18 year old should be paid differently even if they’re doing the exact same work. I think it’s silly to be paid differently for no reason other than “you don’t deserve it because you’re not as old”. I don’t get food discounted just because I’m younger than someone else so why should I be paid less for the same work even if I’m in the same situation? Is this a common belief?
