"You won't get the National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage if you're:"
Wonder if it's considered that all those on the list are not worth it or just that the poor, hard-pushed employer can't afford it?
God knows - the minimum wage is minimum enough as it is - nobody can live decently on it

Fortunately the list you're referring to is very short, and there would be valid reasons to exclude the following from the minimum wage legislation:
•a student doing work experience as part of a higher or further education course
•of compulsory school age
•a volunteer or doing voluntary work
•on a government or European programme
•work shadowing
