Abstract:
For the young generation, the pursuit of meaningful career aspirations is very critical to their life. These aspirations shape their personal development, uplift their socioeconomic status, and contribute to the country’s sustainable development. Understanding the nuances of career aspirations of such a culturally rich and evolving economy becomes imperative. This paper undertakes a comprehensive exploration of the existing literature from India to elucidate the multifaceted dimensions of career aspirations among youth and unearths the intricate web of factors that influence or impede career aspirations formation among youth in India. Contextualizing the significance of structural factors like cultural norms, gender, parent’s expectations, socioeconomic status, and prestige associated with a job, and of individual factors like self-efficacy, outcome expectations, interest, etc. it delves into the dynamics that both facilitate and hinder their ability to articulate and achieve their career aspirations. As the paper unfolds, it underscores the need for tailored interventions, policy measures, and a holistic approach that acknowledges the diversity of aspirations and addresses the systematic challenges that hinder their realization. The paper offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and researchers seeking to empower the youth in India.
