British 14- and 15-year-olds are more socially conservative than any generation except the over-70s, according to a new study.
The study, whose findings were published in the Times, claims that interviewees born since 2000 were less sympathetic towards gay marriage, transgender rights and the legalisation of cannabis than those aged 16-70.
The researchers interviewed over 2,000 people – a smaller number than other large-scale comparisons of social groups. The exact figures and the name of the research body has not been published.
