The interesting thing if you scan the odd satellite broadcast is that the audiences vary very considerably in age, with quite a high proportion in their 30's and 40's.

I found this quite amazing on first seeing this.

I think it quite possible that a wide spectrum of people come to introductory programs, though only a small percentage follow through to become premies.

There is a youth contingent of premies nowadays whose propagation centres around discotheque type happenings, where short Maharaji videos are interspersed with popular music.
Old gits are not invited to these Young Persons' Initiatives (YPI).

The young ones involved are in many cases children of premies, probably with a few chums. The new intake of pwk's probably relies heavily on this contingent.

The large majority of local event attending premies are probably the bed-rock oldies from the 70's.

In the UK considerable numbers of people did receive K during the 1980's, when it was doled out very liberally for a time. But many of these quickly vanished from sight, and the qualifications for attaining K were raised once more.

At a guess, the respective percentage of 70's originals to young people in their 20's who attend local events might be 90% to 10%.

A lot of new people do attend Maharaji's annual intro type events, which probably makes it possible for EV to claim massive new waves of interest in K, but conceals the reality that only very few newcomers follow through.
