Introduction
Young Americans (age 18-30) have been hit hard with loneliness, anxiety, depression and job loss throughout the pandemic. Yet, as our Cause and Social Influence research has shown, they remained vigilant with their interest in and support of social issues.
Each quarter, Cause and Social Influence tracks the behaviors and motivations of young Americans related to social issues and major moments. This is the second report on the social issue and movement actions they’ve taken since March 2021.
Methodology
Cause and Social Influence researchers took a quantitative approach with an online survey fielded June 25, 2021, of 1,000 young Americans (ages 18-30) – a nationally representative sample based on census-projected ethnic and demographic composition. With this response rate, the data presented has a 95% confidence interval and 3% margin of error.
Note: For demographic data-gathering, researchers asked respondents to self-identify their race/ethnic and gender identity. Write-in answers and non-answers were accepted.
