what age is considered a youth
A survey of 2,200 people showed that on average, Britons think old age starts at 59, while youth ends at 41. They may feel they are in their prime with many years ahead of them. But people of 54 are at the start of their old age, according to the younger generation. And youth ends when people turn 32, say the under 25s. A survey of 2,200 people questioned as part of research by the Department for Work and Pensions, showed that on average, Britons think old age starts at 59, while youth ends at 41.
