Young people communicating less by post
A poll of 2,000 people finds 43% of millennials (those born between the early 1980s and the early 2000s) have never sent a handwritten letter, thank you card or parcel to someone they know. However, 80% are sad that these are not sent as much anymore, according to the research which was carried out for ipostparcels .
A research study for Citizens Advice found 45% of people aged 18-34 use post (letters, cards or packages) to contact others. In contrast, 67% of those aged 55-74 use post for personal communications. However despite these findings, recent Citizens Advice research confirms 98% of people aged 16-30 are using post offices for postal services.
