How are India's youths similar to/different from Singaporean youths.
Firstly most youths in India are getting married based on true love instead of arranged marriages. They also want the marriage to be approved by their parents. This rising trend is similar to majority of the youths in Singapore today. In Singapore,youths are allowed to date or get married to anyone they want, without letting their parents choose who they decide to marry.
Secondly, their is a great increase in the number of students taking computer lessons and literacy. Just like youths in Singapore, more of them are exposed to new things on the Internet and magazines or newspapers. In additional to that, computer lessons in India can actually improve the economy, by increasing the capita income from $450 to $650. therefore, youths in Singapore and and India are getting more exposed to different new things everyday via mass media technology.
However, some 47% of Indian's population is under the age of 20. Already they wield $2.8 billion worth of discretionary income, and their families spend an $3.7 billion on them every year. in 2015, 55% of Indian's population will be under the age of 20. This shows that ,unlike Singapore, youths in India has a greater spending power. Youths in India start their own business without much background knowledge and are willing to take the risk. They also demand for more accountability from their politicians. They have the guts to demand and protest and speak their minds out without having to be scared of anything. Therefore, youths in India are different from youths in Singapore in the sense that they are not afraid of voicing out their opinion when it comes to politics and spending power.

ReplyDeleteWhy do you think not as many Singaporean youths can do the same? Is it the political climate? The financial background of their family? The lack of interest?
