There were 17,726 youths - people aged 18-24 - on an unemployment benefit as of May.
It would add greater weight to consider also that there are 22,502 'youths' on the DPB.
If paying the adult minimum wage means young males are less likely to get work the same applies to young females. The only difference is they have an alternative benefit to go on. One that pays better and has more perks attached.

ACT's push for the reintroduction of a youth rate
Or ACT could "push" for the employment policies that will actually make a real, immediate difference to NZ:
* elimination of all unions (not just student unions!!!)
* elimination of all minimum wage legislation (includ crimes act sections)
* elimination of all welfare.
It's in the 2025 task force report. Why they don't bother to read their own leader's policy document i've no idea
