Could be several reasons for that, but I’m thinking that more than ever, being a responsible, well-educated citizen tends not to be encouraged in school curriculums, and therefore takes years and a certain amount of steadfast, patient work to achieve. Also, life, news and messages are more complicated than ever, which make it all too easy to check out and pursue more pleasant pastimes.
There are other reasons I can think of, but I suspect those are two biggies.

Older people are far more likely to be in stable jobs that allow them to take paid time off, or retired.
Younger people are far more likely to be living paycheck-to-paycheck, unable to afford missing work.
That was going to be my point three, yeah.
People who are not living paycheck-to-paycheck.
