LOKNITI-CSDS-KAS survey: Mind of the youth

Out of India’s 1.25 billion people, 65 per cent are aged 35 and under, and about half the total population is yet to turn 25. What is in the mind of this unmatched youth demographic?

A year ago, the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) in partnership with Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) conducted a sample survey-based study that sought to answer key questions about how India’s youth thought and lived. The respondents were aged 15-34, and interviews were conducted across the country. Findings of the Attitudes, Anxieties and Aspirations of India’s Youth: Changing Patterns survey, will be released in New Delhi today. Comparing these findings with those of an earlier CSDS-KAS survey conducted in 2007 allows the tracking of attitudinal change over a decade in which the youth population rose significantly, and India went through major economic, political, socio-cultural and technological transformation. Some key findings:

* Marriage is no longer that important — in 2016, only 46 per cent of youth aged 15-34 were married; this was 54% in 2007. And in 2016, just about half of the youth thought it was important to get married; this figure was 80% in 2007. Of the married youth in 2016, a huge 84 per cent had had arranged marriages. Even as acceptance of intercaste marriages had shot up to well over 50 per cent from just about 30% in 2007, the outcome of intercaste marriage (those who had actually married outside their caste) was still only 4%.

* Socially and culturally, Indian youth are yet to let go of conservative moorings. 41 per cent agree, in varying degrees, that married women should not work, 43 per cent believe men are better leaders, and 51 per cent think wives should always listen to their husbands. One in 4 approved of same-sex romantic relationships. 27 per cent expressed at least some unease about having a neighbour who cooked non-vegetarian food, 22 per cent about a neighbour from a different religion, 26 per cent about an African neighbour, and a huge 47 per cent about being neighbours with an unmarried boy and girl living together.

* Three out of 5 youths are fond of wearing stylish clothes and footwear, and carrying the latest mobile phones. 39 per cent are very fond or somewhat fond of applying fairness creams.
