Present study was conducted in Kanpur city of UP state on 300 adolescents (147 boys and 153 girls) randomly selected from 6 intermediate colleges to assess their carrier preferences (science and technology-ST, commerce and management-CM, tourism and hospitality-TH, mass media and journalism-MMJ, artistic and designing-AD, medical-M, agriculture-AG, defense-D, law and order-LO and education-E) using Standard Carrier Test. Data revealed that adolescents were in age group between 14-17 years. Higher number of respondents belonged (each 23.66 %) to business and service class families, while lowest number of adolescents belonged to families working in factories (16.66%). About 47 per cent of adolescent's families had income less than Rs. 5000/-month and lowest number of respondents (20.0%) had family income between Rs. 5000 to 10000/-month. Data further revealed that ST was the most preferred carrier of adolescents (64) and AG as least preferred carrier (0). Girls preferred M, MMJ and AD over boys while later have more preference to ST and CM than former. There was change in preference of adolescents for carrier over different month's period. It is evident from the results that ST and M is the most preferred carrier, while AG and D are the least preferred carriers among adolescents. Preference of adolescents to carrier also changes with time.Keywords

In India’s, old age parents are cared for by their children. They need assistance in daily activities with dignity. Elderly adults are not scared of their death but they fear of losing their independence. It is the responsibility of their children as well as society to provide them security in all aspects e.g. financial, health etc. Even though government has introduced several schemes for elderly people but awareness related to these schemes is very poor. This study assessed the awareness about elderly schemes and benefits (Economic security, Insurance (Health and Pension), Reverse Mortgage, Concessions in travel, Old age homes and Miscellaneous schemes) among senior citizens of Jhansi city. Fifty old age people of Jhansi City of Uttar Pradesh state were randomly selected from Kaimasan Nagar, Shivaji Nagar, Duriyapura, Narayan Bagh, and Rajpoot colony. The structured interview schedule was prepared in accordance with methodical procedure. Results showed that education and type of family had significant association with awareness about schemes and benefits of old age. Rest of the variables (age, sex, marital status, number of family members, occupation before retirement, means of income and monthly income) has no association with awareness of elderly schemes.Keywords
