For workers between 18 and 20 in the UK and Ireland, the disparity widens.

In the UK this age bracket are to receive £10.85 an hour, or £19,747 for a full time annual salary.

In Ireland a 19-year-old receives £11.13 an hour, which is £20,256.60 a year, and an 18-year-old gets £9.89 an hour, a yearly full time take home of £17,999.80.

It means an 18-year-old on the Isle of Man working full time would still receive £23,405.20 where counterparts in the UK and Ireland receive a minimum of £3,000 less each year.

But the largest difference is seen in under 18s.

On the island children can receive £10.16 an hour, compared to £8 an hour in the UK and £8.66 an hour in Ireland.
