Young Workers and the Minimum Wage Survey

Help us make the case for a higher wage for you.

The minimum wage for 18 - 21 year olds is £4.60 an hour - 92p lower than 22 year olds.

Usdaw - your trade union - is leading the campaign for the full minimum wage at 18.

Please help us to argue our case by completing this short survey by 3 October.
 Question 1 - Do you believe that the adult minimum wage of £5.52 an hour should apply at 18?
Yes
No
 Question 2 - What rate do you think the minimum wage should be?
 Question 3 - Do you find it difficult to afford any of the following (please tick all that apply):
Housing
Household bills
Food
Travel to work
Socialising
 Question 4 - Do you have dependant children?
None
1 child
2 children
3 or more children
 Question 5 - Are you in education now?
Full-time
Part-time
None
 Question 6 - If you are both working and in education, how hard do you find it to keep up with your studies because of your hours of work? (please rank as appropriate with 1 being not hard at all and 5 being very hard)

 Question 7 - If the minimum wage for 18 year olds was increased to £5.52 an hour, would it affect the hours you work or whether you go into higher education? I would...
spend more time studying/take up studying as I could reduce my hours at work
spend less time studying or stop my course and increase my hours at work
It would make no difference
 Question 8 - Do you feel you have the opportunity to develop your career at work?
Yes
No
 Question 9 - If you receive training at work, how useful do you find it? (please rank as appropriate with 0 being no training, 1 being training that is not at all useful and 5 being very useful)
