NEW DELHI: Emerging India may be a poorer country than the developed Europe, but Indian youth are more satisfied with their financial situation and their prospects for getting a good job as compared to their counterparts in the European nations, says a new survey.
As much as 70 per cent of Indian youth are satisfied with their financial situation compared to just 23 per cent in European Union, according to a global survey carried out by Sweden-based Kairos Future, a futures research and consulting firm.
On the job front, 78 per cent are certain of landing up in a good job in the future while only 42 per cent of the Europeans believe in the same. Moreover, only 23 per cent of those in Europe are satisfied with their financial situation.
Giving a thumbs up for globalisation, 82 per cent Indians see it as an opportunity even as 73 per cent want to protect their national industry. Surprisingly, only 40 per cent of European Union people accept globalisation as an opportunity and only 46 per cent feel strongly for their country's industry.
Further, 74 per cent Indians consider that certain brands are important to express their identity compared to just 23 per cent people from the European Union.
"If India is to become an innovation powerhouse in a global economy,India should produce engineers of good quality. The education system should help the student community develop a well rounded personality. It should give them a variety of options from which they can pick and choose depending on their aptitudes and capabilites," Viswanathan added.
He said it was the need of the hour to upgrade the technical skills as well as the soft skills of the students passing out of the colleges to cater to industry requirements.
