Employers' claims young adults are living at home have meant a new band for the minimum wage.
Today, Tynwald approved moves to create a new wage band for 18 to 20 year olds who were previously classed as adults.
They won't get a rise in the minimum wage for over 21s which was also approved today after Economic Development Minister Laurence Skelly said businesses had opposed the rise.
East Douglas MHK Brenda Cannell said she felt the new rules discriminated between adults:
