YOUNG people are more worried about bread and butter issues than racism and trans, a poll shows.
Nearly 60 per cent of 18 to 30 year olds cited housing as their biggest barrier to getting ahead.
Followed by high taxes, a difficult job market and student loans.
Sexism and racism were the least important barriers polled, selected as important by only 15 per cent of respondents.
The Policy Exchange survey also indicated a net positive support for a limit on legal migration and for prohibiting biological males from participating in women’s sports.
Youngsters also agreed it is more important to speak the truth than avoid offence.
Dame Caroline Dinenage, who chairs the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, commented that this sends a clear message about the importance of focusing on issues that unify the nation.
The poll results dampen the narrative that Gen Z prefers their politicians to prioritize woke issues over the common fundamental concerns shared with other voters.
