There was also a lower turnout rate in the younger population, which I guess the less-educated contribute a lot to. The remain vote was around 60% of total younger population, with around 20% non-voters.

The proportion of remain votes drops steadily as age goes up. This suggests that people get more and more critical of EU's ability to create jobs and wealth as their work and life experience increases, whereas younger people have praised EU's role in education and cultural exchanges.

Why should it be "robbing their children of a future"? If people see no improvement in their life within the EU (quite the opposite in many cases), why should they want this future for their children? How is this robbing?
