Abstract | This study examines how gender socialization affects youth development in India and, more specifically, it explores its impact on mental health, education and career. Narrow social roles for each gender exist within India due to culture, family, and religion-connected expectations: men are expected to be the breadwinners while women are seen as homemakers. While urban areas are redefining these roles, they still define the experiences of young people in rural communities. This paper explores the role of family, peers and media as major agents of socialization who promote gender stereotypes and expectations. The research, which used a mixed-methods approach of surveys and case studies, shows that there are significant pressures by gender impacting mental health in the area of body image concerns, anxiety and depression. In order to promote the well-being and potential of future generations in India, the paper concludes with ideas for advancing gender equality by media reform, involvement of families, and education. It highlights the necessity of creating a more inclusive, gender-neutral environment. |
