I disagree. On the experience side of things, you can apply that to anybody who's first starting work, or who's just landed their first job in a new field. I get the other bit, but that does feel like a massive generalisation and rather disrespectful.
Perhaps a minor pay decrease can be justified - I don't disagree that being younger you'll probably be less productive, at least for your first year or 2 in employment. But I don't think it's fair to pay somebody 40% of the wage when they generate you the same amount in sales and revenue. I certainly don't think you'd receive 60% more productivity from somebody over 21
