Indian Youth: Aspirations and Vision for the Future
Key Takeaways:
- Mr. Peter Rimmele remarked that this concentration of youth studies becomes all the more significant in the Indian context considering the comparative enormously high percentage of youth as 15-34 years old account for almost 35% of the Indian population, that is more than one-third.
- Prof. Sanjay Kumar remarked that the study tries to map the youth’s opinions, attitudes, changes across the following themes – social ties, friendships, families and society, religious practices and engagements, attitude towards marriage and marriage preferences, career choices among Indian youth, livelihoods, opportunities and challenges.
- Mr. Bhupendra Chaubey noted that this is first such attempt that has been made where CSDS & KAS tried to delink the electoral processes. Usually, we end up looking at all surveys through the prism of pure politics.
- Prof. Divya Vaid remarked that this series of reports is important because it provides a temporal look at key demographic changes as well as youth aspirations and attitudes and the hurdles and opportunities that the youth face according to different socio-economic criteria and location.
- Mr. Ansh Singh Luthra noted that a lot of issues highlighted in the report are interrelated such as employment, skill development, financial wellbeing, mental wellbeing and that all of us face these issues on a day-to-day basis. He talked about a skill-based force development where private entities are roped in and are regulated by the government as a possible solution.
- Ms. Kanika Sinha talked about how nation building, volunteering are what young people are expected of but when it comes to decision making, we tend to see the experienced middle aged/senior people in power.
