This paper intends to analyse the attitude and perception of currently married educated youth in the age group of 18-29 years in the light that young and educated generation is most adaptable to new, innovative and progressive ideas. In this concern, egalitarian attitude and perception of youth towards gender roles is quite important to determine the level of gender equality for future generations. Gender roles and relations are primarily re-produced and negotiated within families and local communities and hereby it’s a matter of concern to explore attitude of young generation towards gender discrimination. The paper has explored four forms of gender discrimination using exploratory factor analyses and brought out the fact that educated youth possess a neutral perception towards gender roles prescribed for males and females within the society. Gender based analysis in this concern highlighted the egalitarian perception of males’ towards the equal status for their female peers, whereas females still believe in the century old patriarchal system of the society. Acceptance of patriarchal gender roles by females indicates deep rooted prejudices within families and is a matter of concern for the policy makers to achieve gender equality.

KEY WORDS: Youth Perception, Gender Discrimination, Gender Roles, Egalitarian Attitude, Patriarchal Society
