Abstract
The talk will examine the life stage of established adulthood (30-45 years) in the urban, Indian context. Against the backdrop of traditional frameworks and family practices, it will discuss evolving gender role ideologies in contemporary Indian society. The effects of navigating work and family on individual and familial wellbeing of established adults will also be discussed. Some evidence-based interventions that stem from indigenous sources and can support holistic human development in this life stage will be shared. The talk will emphasize the need for more research based on Indian social realities to guide context-sensitive policies at multiple levels.
