In the present study, we have examined the impact of Age, Gender and Socio-economic status on Morality and Valued living of 300 individuals belonging to four zones (North, South, East, & West) of Kolkata City. The results of the study revealed that (a) age of the individuals seems to have a significant impact on their morality and valued living, (b) gender of the individuals seems to have a significant impact on their morality and valued living and (c) socio-economic status of the individuals seems to have a significant impact on their morality but not on their valued living. The present study appears to be quite relevant in the present scenario of our society. The implication of the study lies in taking proper care for the inculcation of moral values among the youth as they are the future of our society.
