I have no idea why someone thought to post the blog of Dr Thomas Prosser, Reader in European Social Policy at Cardiff Business School.

https://profiles.cardiff.ac.uk/staff/prossertj

It's a terse dot point summary of some observations on recent surveys.

What I do know, however, is that a table of correlations does not identify "What drives social justice ideology". Not in the slightest.

It's not age that drives an outlook in the UK - that comes from particular issues and circumstances that are mainly affecting the young.

Similarly it's not being female that drives an outlook in the US, it's specific issues that predominately affect women, eg: abortion.

Dr Prosser might have the technical chops to cover his subject but his blog post title could use some work.

EDIT: Oh, of course it's entirely possible that 'ContrarianBrit' is Dr Prosser: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=ContrarianBrit

Also, the younger have generally more energy to spend on society (or more energy in general, you could say).
