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.
