In March of twenty seventeen, a study was published, addressing changes in youth gender ideology, showing a trend towards traditional ism, a few months later, another professor came out saying that generations ie is more conservative than millennials now a lot on the right. They believe this because it favours their ideology. Some people are suggesting that these are just a couple studies and they might not actually representative of all millennials, or what the future actually holds, because if they consider much more than just one study or a handful of professors, but now We have another survey coming out from Reuters this time, an exclusive story that the damage are losing support with millennials and the Republicans are gaining support. So if there is a trend towards traditional ism or conservatism, what is causing this, and does this mean the next generation is going to be less

Changes in youth, gender ideology. This is a briefing paper prepared for the council on contemporary families by Giovanni our Pepin Department of Sociology University of Maryland
David. I caught her professor Sociology Union College. It starts with the overview. We often think that each generation becomes more modern, egalitarian and tolerant within the last frequently this is correct, as it generally has been, with changing attitudes about gender work and family region Our research has shown a surprising twisted that pattern. A survey that, for nearly forty years, has asked Highschool seniors a series of questions about how men and women should be treated at work. What responsibilities at home should look and whether mothers employment harms their children. We, some of those questions. The answers have indeed continue to become more egalitarian, but on others, what had been a trend towards equality stopped or even reversed in the mid nineties nineties in nineteen seventy six. Eighty two, saint of high school seniors already agreed or strongly agree that women should be considered as seriously as men for jobs as executive or politicians by nineteen, before that had risen to ninety one percent, a high that disdain for the next two decades. Similarly, in nineteen, seventy six, seventy six percent-
read that a woman should have exactly the same job opportunities as a man. This rose to eighty nine percent nineteen eighty four and has remained stable through twenty fourteen, essentially starting in the mid nineties, seventies. Youths attitudes became more egalitarian and plateau at a high level of a gallop terrorism since the mid nineties nineties. But a very different and surprising trend is evident in attitudes about gender dynamics and families after becoming more egalitarian for almost twenty years, highschool seniors, thinking about a husbands, authority and division of labor at home has since become so Stanley more traditional and ninety seven when they were asked whether it is usually better for everyone involved. If the man is the achiever outside the home and the woman takes care of the human family, fewer than thirty percent of high school seniors disagreed by ninety. Ninety: four: disagreement with the claim that the male breadwinner female homemaker families, the best household arrangement, has almost doubled, rising to fifty eight percent by twenty fourteen. However, it had fallen back to forty two percent
line of sixteen percentage point since its peak and ninety. Ninety four given mind. This is just one study, but this is a He used by a lot of people to make the claim that yes, young people are becoming more traditional, are becoming more conservative, but there are other bits of evidence that may suggest this to be true July: thirteenth. Twenty seventeen from CBS, really professor generation see more conservative, then Millennials Jeff Brower, a professor at Keystone College, was so the political habits of generations e people born after ninety. Ninety six told crystal during an interview on talk, radio, twelve, ten w Phd, that kids and younger adults today have a more favourable view of Donald Trump and may leaned toward the Republican Party, because they speak more to issues that concern them. The Republican Party in General really has an opportunity here to bring young folks into the fold which they had a very difficult time over the last couple decades to do. They can do it early usual.
Republicans attract folks as they get older, but publicans can play their cards right, Genji is primed to go into and embrace the republican party. When I was the burglary free speech about last year, many of the trunk supporters pirated these states, saying that they genuinely believe Genji is the most conservative generation since World WAR two and they thought that younger generations were trending toward professionalism, but keep in mind. As I mentioned a moment ago, people are going to select the studies that benefit their worldview and confer arising going to share those, but we do have a survey from Reuters. From this morning, exclusive Democrats lose ground with Millennials Reuters, Ipsos Pole and it starts enthusiasm for the Democratic Party is waning among millennials, as its candidates had into the crucial mid term congressional
since, according to the Reuters Ipsos National Opinion Poll, the online survey of one in sixteen thousand registered voters ages. Eight and thirty four shows their support for Democrats over Publicans for Congress slipped by about nine percentage points over the past two years to forty six percent overall and they increasingly say the Republican Party is a better steward of the economy. Millennial support for democratic congressional candidates has declined over the last few years. Especially among young white people, who made up a much worthy of the money about twenty? Sixteen two here they have a graph show,
the differences between twenty sixteen and twenty eight in and you can see from all people- ages, eighteen, thirty, four support and twenty sixteen was well above fifty percent and around fifty five percent for Democrats and twenty seven percent for holidays. But in twenty eighteen we can see that democratic support from eighteen. Thirty four year olds is at forty six percent and our publicans at twenty eight percent. So it's not a huge gains for publicans among all millennials, but a general loss for the Democrats. Personally, I think this can be explained by Bernie Sanders and its possible that many of these people have shifted towards a democratic Socialists of America, of which I have been hearing a lot about and hearing a lot of support, for that is just my opinion, based on my own personal experience and isn't necessarily tourism
that mind all we can say for sure, and the Democrats have lost a decent amount of support in the last two years and Republicans of only gain a slight amount among the union's interests. Dingley enough, though, when we look at eighteen, thirty, four year old white millennials weakens you, then twenty sixteen. The Democrats have forty seven percent support and Republicans had thirty three percent, but in twenty eighteen the Democrats fell to thirty nine percent and Republicans increased to thirty nine percent, meaning in twenty eighteen white millennia. Are now split evenly between republican and Democrat, and I would say this is much less surprising, but among eighty two thirty four year old white men, the Democrats had forty eight percent and twenty sixteen and are publicans had thirty six percent, but in twenty eighteen that has shifted dramatically with Democrats having thirty seven percent support and the Republicans increasing to forty six percent, meaning that the majority of support in twenty
eighteen among white male millennials is for the Republican Party. I traveled around covering many of trumps campaign stops in the election, and when I talked to older tromp supporters, they tend to say that the reason I supported Donald Trump was because of economic issues, trade issues, things like NAFTA with teepee. These were free trade agreements with the United States and other countries, but younger people tended to say to me they supported Trump because they didn't like political correctness. They said that if we couldn't address our problems because speaking about it was Oh, how would we actually solve them, and so they opted for voting for tromp. To give you a simple understanding of what this graph means. Support for Democrats among. All millennial demographics is down and among white male millennials support for the Republicans is now greater than was for the Democrats in TWAIN, Sixteen and among all white millennials. It is now evenly split between Democrats and report
and just the other day. Busby newsman a story called a youth of today in which they talk about millennials becoming conservative The story title to meet the New California, Counterculture College, Republicans, that's something we ve actually heard many times, Paul Joseph Watson says, is that conservatism is the new counterculture and now we can see that Buzzfeed is actually parroting that same sentiment. Now I don't want to go into too much detail about the story, It simply a story about Milo Ye Anomalous and California College Republicans, but overall The story talks about how college Republicans exist and it is a new California, counterculture, and it highlights the view of many of those who supported my low and are well California called Republicans, I'm not going to read the story is a source begets kind of just an anecdotal experience of someone going to one of these conventions I think this is another example of this idea that young people really are becoming conservative. So why is this relevant?
this is going to mean something serious with the mid term elections coming up. If the damage- that's our losing support from landfills across the board and among white millennial? Support for a publican is going up. That means we might actually see the Republicans retain a control, and this is exactly what Trump would want, because, according to sleep Tromp says, Democrats will try to impeach him if they take control of Congress. Present Donald Trump appears to be worried that face impeachment? If republicans lose the majority in the house, representatives in a campaign style rally in Michigan at the President and Saturday night? As an alternative to the White House Correspondence Dinner Tromp said it was very important for supporters to vote in the upcoming mid term elections. We have to keep the house because we listen impacting waters she's going around saying we will impeach him. We will impeach him Trump said as the crowd booed. When he mentioned waters name, then people said he hasn't done anything wrong. That doesn't matter we impeach the President Nancy Pelosi, though, has warned fellow party members that impeachment talk would not help them when in the
terms I have said over and over again that I don't think we should be talking about impeachment policies that, on Thursday I have been very clear right from the start, the cat before lawmaker said all the talk about getting rid of Trump only helps the GNP. In order to truly no of young people are becoming more conservative. We have to look at many more sort. But when Reuters puts out a survey that says according to Reuters in itself, they are seeing a trend towards the Republican Party. I think, in my opinion, it is fair to place that, but that we are seeing young people become more traditional and more conservative. Now, if you ask me what is happening outside a few reasons, the GEO P kind of changed with Donald in the nineties and two thousands they were against gay marriage. There are a lot of positions that were more focus on religion and Donald Trump. At the currency actually got the Republicans to cheer for the algae beady community, thus showing that the jokes became more socially liberal than it had been in the past, and in my
that's going to attract young people who are more tolerant or moat. More socially liberal that and the idea of political correctness. There are a lot of young people who just don't like it as I mentioned earlier, but why the Democrats are losing support is simple. What they did to Bernie Sanders has angered Han of people who used to be on the left, most notably as Cassandra Fairbanks. Who is a well known tromp supporting personality, she used to be a die hard. Bernie supporter and now she has moved towards the right she is a millennial who is now supporting for a publican, and then why I think Democrats are losing support outside of the Republicans are gaining is simple. The democratic socialist of a mere Where many Bernie Sanders supporters have gone after the DMZ pull their shenanigans, so I want to see what happens with the mid term elections, but one thing it is fair to say is that young people are becoming more conservative and the Democrats are losing support, at least that's what Reuters tells us, and we do have these other studies. So let me know if you think in the comments below it'll keep
conversation going. Do you trust these studies or do you think it is just selective confirmation by that more conservative are choosing to look at these specific studies to support their own world view, or is it real again hello give the conversation going.
