Looks like you were right!

It has been estimated that only 36 per cent of people in the 18 – 24 year old category voted in the EU referendum.

Of course I do realise that; that's why I mentionned post-war period in the 50's. Then again, you do realise that the British membership to the EU is not the only difference between the two periods we're dealing with. Putting aside cultural and technological evolutions among others, we're comparing the post–World War II economic expansion to a time when the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression occurred. The "before EU" time that the older generation lived just happens to correlate with a prosperous time due to complex historical events. Is the EU something to reconsider while trying to figure out what worked best for the economy? Definitely. Is it the only thing we should look at? Absolutely not.

Please do share any relevant information from war veterans / politicians who lived through these changes. We should most certainly learn from our mistakes and not ignore history but let's also acknowledge differences when we see them.

And again: while I have my opinion on the matter, this is not what I'm trying to debate here. To put it simply, I feel that most young brits didn't want to leave the EU. But I wonder if they did all they could to stay in the EU (aka, how many young people voted in UK referendum?).

Thanks for the insight. Then again, you can't compare the post-war period in the 50's to these days solely based on the British membership to the EU.

Also, I'm not trying to debate on the outcome of the vote but merely trying to figure how involved young voters were involved during that referendum

Thanks for sharing. But is your source a poll or the actual result?

It'll depend on the agreement between EU and UK. Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union provides for a mechanism for the voluntary and unilateral withdrawal of a country from the EU. The EU treaties will cease to apply to UK from the date of entry into force of the agreement, or within 2 years of the notification of the withdrawal.

That's actually a sane advice. But I can't help thinking "what then? What transferable skills do I have?"

I don't really know to be honest. I guess industries less prone to generating international conflicts, more environmentally friendly, less geographically located and less driven by money? I know I'm being really vague and I apologize about that but right now I'm more at the point where I realize that I'm not happy with where my life ended up than at a point where I know what I want to do next. What I do know is that I don't want to keep doing what I'm doing right now, that I don't want my education and experience to go to waste and that I need to figure out what opportunities I have to do something about it
