Are young people "flocking" to astrology?
The article provides evidence that the market is growing but as far as specific support for "young people" I saw about two.
The first is the quote "The astrology field is booming — a trend that has been driven by younger generations, experts say, ..." and the second is from a YouGov poll.
In that poll 37% of 18-29 year olds believe, and 33% of 30-44 year olds believe, and then there is a large drop to 22% for 45-64 year olds and 16% for 65+ year olds [1] where 3472 people were surveyed [2].
The polling has a stated margin of error of 4% [3].
It seems more accurate to say the 18-44 year old range has a much higher likelihood of believing in astrology than those in an older age group.
Was there something I missed?
