Parents in India have strongly backed a social media ban for under-16s, logging the second-highest score at 75% after Malaysia (77%) in new worldwide research released by the UK-based education charity Varkey Foundation on Tuesday.
The Family First analysis for the foundation follows Australia’s recent social media ban for under-16s at a time when other nations are exploring similar measures.
In India, majority of Gen Z respondents (73%) also supported such a ban – the highest of all the countries polled.
