The generation gap in acceptance of homosexuality

Methodology: The map shows the difference (in percentage points) between the share of those aged 16-24 who are highly accepting of homosexuality and the share of those over the age of 65 who are highly accepting of homosexuality in each country. It is based on the World Value Survey ‘homosexuality acceptance’ index, and specifically the following question: "Please tell me for each of the following actions whether you think it can always be justified, never be justified, or something in between? Homosexuality".
