Shift in Ideologies among Young Singles

According to a recent chart, there has been a notable shift in ideologies among young singles. Over the past decade, young single men have been moving towards the right politically, while their female counterparts have been moving further left. In the early 1980s, around 10% of young single men identified as conservative, a percentage that has now risen to 15%. The proportion of single liberal young men has remained relatively steady at around 18%. On the other hand, the share of single young women identifying as liberal has surged from 15% in the early 1980s to 32% in the present day. Correspondingly, the share of conservative single women has declined from 10% to approximately 7%. The reasons behind these shifts could be attributed to factors such as education and the influence of social media and online platforms.
