Abstract
The research assesses the transition from traditional to egalitarian gender roles
and contributes to the understanding of gender attitude in the current socio-
cultural context. This hallmark identity of the youth is investigated on a sample of
100 youth within the age range 18- 26, residing in Kolkata, using the Gender
Roles Attitude Scale (GRAS). The data was analysed using independent samples
t-tests across five dimensions: Egalitarian, Female, Marriage, Traditional, and
Male gender roles. The study investigates the areas of gender roles that are
reaching a consensus and the others that remain highly polarized by gender.
Statistical analysis indicates that the youth sample generally rejects traditional
norms, such as male-domination in a household or gender-segregated professions.
It can be concluded that education and economic independence are primary
drivers in reshaping these attitudes thus supporting a shift towards a more
equitable social framework. The study also discusses the implications of these
attitudes for professional development and domestic equity.
