Aurora Youth Trends Survey 2009

Young people constitute a significant part of Pakistans population 19% of the population falls
between the age of 15-24 and a further 13% within the 25-34 age band (Source: Population Census
Organization, Government of Pakistan). Its no surprise then that companies are clamouring to market
their products to young people.
But which brands do these young people buy? What are their attitudes towards spending? What are
their interests and activities? What are their aspirations? And who are their role models, if any?
Aurora set out to answer these questions, for a second year in a row with an online survey.
