'Scrap min wage,' think tank urges
The report claimed that the minimum wage was to blame for youth unemployment and the zero-hours contracts crisis.

The Institute for Economic Affairs (IEA) called for the national minimum wage of £3.72 for under 18s and £2.68 for apprentices to be scrapped completely.
The ideological attack was launched on the 15th anniversary of the minimum wage.
