NCB Now: Our shout!

Minimum wage for 16- and 17-year-olds: is 3 an hour enough?

"Three pounds an hour is not good enough." - Yazmin,16, London

"It's not enough. We want more." - Sophie, 13, Huddersfield

"No, I don't think it is enough, because at that age you need travel expenses for college and money to shop. You are independent and you would prefer not to ask your parents." - Idris, 15, East Ham

"I am 18 but I have worked in a restaurant since I was 15. You feel used when you get little money for a large amount of work." - Chad, 18, Liverpool
