Young people 'harden views on immigration as they age'
23 November 2010
The study found pupils become more supportive of human and women's rights as they get older. However, on immigration, the proportion who believed the UK does not have sufficient room for new arrivals rose by 20% between the ages of 11 and 18. The survey also found that while young people maintain a high level of trust in the institutions of political life, they are notably more sceptical about politicians, the media and their own abilities to influence the future.
