Its not. You're confusing it with "The Living Wage" which something (I think the Rowntree foundation) have come up with for the minimum amount to live on.
The NLW is just a rebranded NMW for the over 25's. And it is the law to pay it. There is a loophole with apprentices though.
Fair enough, terminology confusion: What is the real Living Wage? | Living Wage Foundation
