8-24: 36%

Did you mean 18-24?

35-44: 72%
45-54: 75%
55-64: 81%
65+: 83%

An important caveat: the younger voters who did vote are probably skewed towards upper end of the socico-economic ladder and support for remain was also positively correlated with socico-economic status.

The strong Remain vote among youth, as well as the support for Democrats and Bernie Sanders among youth in the USA, and greater opposition to Trump among them, disproves Cynic Hero's contention that globalist idealism is something that "boomers" are imposing on young people today. It is rather xenophobia and nationalism that the old are imposing on the young. That is especially true among the older voters in Britain, who are nostalgic for not only the single anglo culture but for their lost empire.

Another important point, is that anti-globalist support for Brexit, though worrisome, does not necessarily correlate with anti-globalist support for Trump in the USA, because a vote for a policy is not the same as a vote for a candidate. Trump is more unpopular than his policies, because of his own record and temperament.
