Abstract
Adolescence is the most important period of
human life and Secondary education which is a critical period for the
development of career maturity, when students are faced with ongoing academic
and occupational decisions over the course of their study. These educational
decisions pave the way for future decisions to be taken by any individual in
the world of work. The present study aimed to explore the career maturity of
secondary school adolescents, by gender. The results were collected by using
the descriptive survey technique. A representative sample of 200 adolescent
students including males and females was selected from senior secondary schools
in Chandigarh as respondents. For data collection, an Indian version of the
career maturity inventory by Gupta (2018) was employed. The appropriate
statistical measures such as mean, standard deviation and t-test were applied
for analysing the data. The quantitative analysis of data revealed that girls
are found to possess higher career maturity than their boys’ counterparts. The
findings of the study have strong implications for the Students, Teachers,
Researchers, Counsellors and Parents.
