We are currently hosting Italian students (15-18 age bracket) in the UK for 1-2 weeks. The consensus from them probably echoes that from around the EU. Older people would like to return to the Lira and more national say, younger people are more concerned with freedom of movement (and buying imported stuff!). This seems to be the case with all the groups we've had from different regions (mostly more northern) and social groupings.

From this it seems the question isn't so much whether the EU itself is good or bad. Different ages have different aspirations and desires, these are not actually competing though. The young don't seem to care about the Euro and while the older people want controls on immigration aren't against freedom of movement generally.
