Thus, this task actually interferes with the successful performance of other developmental tasks, such as becoming a responsible citizen and the head of the family. In the fulfillment of occupational and economic development, the family plays an important role, as all the youth’s aspirations, values and goals are indirectly influenced by the family situation in which they were molded during the whole childhood period (Sarada, 2007). Researchers have specifically considered that career-based decisions are not simply an expression of self-determinism or individual agency but rather are rooted in relationship and cultures (Blustein, 2011, Keller&Brown, 2014).Under Indian cultural set up, the pattern of socialization for males and females is different.
