Quarterlife Crisis In The Uk And India: Perceived Standards And Unfulfilled Expectations, Raginie Duara, Siobhan Hugh-Jones, Anna Madill

Our participants are 22-30 years of age from the UK (n=16) and India (n=8) who self-define …

One of these processes is the existence and normalization of the commercial …
