Yea so that's the argument that people who don't agree with making a liveable wage give. In reality there is just a great group of people who are only eligible for minimum wage or close to minimum wage jobs. So a fair bit of adults that are even trying to support their children.

So I think we can all agree that especially if 2 parents are working 40 hours a week should be able to at least live a decent life in a Western country. And that's mainly in to question here. For teens you could always have a lower minimum wage until they're older. As they have in plenty countries.

Does this address your question properly?

Yes, I agree with everything you've put here.

I just didn't know what the response to that argument was.

All good, unsure why people down voted you when you asked so politely. If there is anything else let me know.

People are fragile, thank you for taking the question in the spirit it was intended.
