This statistic shows the results of a 2018 survey of English adults by age group, regarding how strongly or not they identify as being European. According to the results of the survey, feelings of European identity are not particularly strong in any of the age-groups, with 58 percent of over 65s not identifying at all with being European. Among younger age cohorts this feeling decreases however, with 38 percent of 18-24 year olds having some strong degree of European identity, compared with only 32 percent who don't identify at all.
