Teenagers born since the turn of the millennium are the most socially conservative and thrifty generation since the Second World War.
The newly classified Generation Z are much less likely to approve of gay marriage, transgender rights or the legalisation of cannabis than Baby Boomers, Millennials or Generation X, a study has found.

The study questioned more than 2,000 people on a range of issues and categorised respondents by their age.
