No, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family

While some people this may be relevant most people in relative poverty are underemployed so we should raise the minimum wage so we can provide them a basic level of income

The wage offered by a job is not necessarily reflective of the importance of that job to society. For example, care workers are incredibly important but often work on minimum wage. And they of course should be paid more & should be able to support their family on their income

People don’t always have a choice but to take low income jobs. So you can’t guarantee that these roles are taken by people that they were originally intended for.

Rubbish, all family situations are different. A minimum wage job may be the only job viable to that person for different reasons and so they should be able to support their family by working and contributing to a community.

most people on minimum wage are students who are relying on the money to support them through college and university

That may be the intention but it is not the reality. There are many people out there who support others, whether it be a spouse, sick relatives or multiple children. Many of these people and more are also trapped in cycles of not being able to get work because they don't have the necessary skills, but need to support others and therefore rely on unsafe work to get by. Any employment should contribute to an individual's development and pay them enough to not only survive, but live.

Minimum wage employees don’t always have a choice and should not be held back from having a family due to their ability to gain high paid work.

All families are in different financial situations. Some may rely on said wages to support their families.

Immigrants who are trying to work and add to the uk economics are likely to start out on low paid jobs

Where unemployment is high, people who have to work shouldn’t be compromised by poor pay for a fair days work. Too many organisations take advantage of their staff, rewarding senior managers off the backs of the hard work undertaken by the junior workers.
Fair days pay for a fair days work, no excuses. Care workers are a prime example, and often they are supporting a family on the pittance described as a minimum wage.

Family situations are all different. Someone who has been working a minimum wage job could then be put in a position where they have no choice but to provide for a family

although some jobs are meant to develop experience, the wages can be used in family positions, for example, if you want to improve your quality of life, then it is acceptable to use your wage in family.

Minimum wage jobs are often difficult jobs that require a lot of work and effort, and should be rewarded as such. I don’t want to clean a toilet, so pay the person who does well.

Although that is true for a lot of people, not everyone gets accepted by a high paying job, so minimum wage is all they have
