Abstract

This study explores how the feminist beliefs of older generations in Indian households are influenced by their GEN Z daughters. The generational gap and changing traditional values are building grounds for such new norms. This research also explores how reverse socialisation is based on adoption of new norms based on the experiences of Gen Z young women.
