Probably a number of reasons for it (time, working hours, kids, fear, etc) that could influence that trend.

Nope, think it is more of a "we started to vote at first opportunity and have continued to do so".
Youth almost need a jihad movement to get them out...like when Nenshi was first elected.
I think older people consider voting more as your duty to protect democracy and youth...I don't know, but they are very disinterested in the whole process. Schools do so much more now too, like holding mock elections along real elections, but it just does not continue.
