Identity is a multidimensional construct shaped by social, cultural, personal, and psychological factors. It represents how individuals perceive themselves and how they are perceived by others in society.

These indicators act as markers that allow individuals to situate themselves within a larger social framework, while also guiding their choices, aspirations, and relationships. Youth identity, in particular, is fluid and influenced by rapid social changes, peer interactions, and exposure to media.

For youth, gender shapes career choices, interpersonal relationships, and the sense of empowerment or constraint
