Calls To Abolish The Sub-Minimum Wage Rate For Those Under 20

The minimum wage in Ireland increased every year from 2016 to 2025.

There are calls to abolish the sub-minimum wage rate for those under the age of 20.

The minimum wage in Ireland increased every year from 2016 to 2025.

Economic and Social Research Institute study funded by the Low Pay Commission shows more employers are opting to use the rates since the pandemic.

Before the pandemic, 20 per cent of employees under 20 received the sub-minimum wage.

In 2025, that number increased to 30 per cent of employees under 20.
