A problem with raising minimum wages is then marginal businesses will lay off employees. It may be better for the government to subsidise low wages by chipping in a bit on top. eg this kind of thing https://www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en/articles/working-ta...

Higher minimal wages and tax credits for small businesses seems healthier.
