Some attention was paid to their own bank accounts too. The participants also responded to various attitude statements about money and the economic situation in general. Results showed numerous gender but few class differences. Males received more pocket money and presents than the females indicating particular cultural patterns regarding gender considerations. Over 27% of the students claimed their parents would not give them extra money if they had spent it all. Regression analysis showed that the best predictors of regularity of saving, as well as the proportion of money saved and spent were the more money received. The results are discussed in terms of the limited empirical literature on children's pocket money allowances, particularly with respect to demographic differences. Key Words: Gender difference, savings, spending, socio-economic differences, youth Introduction As the economies are being modernized and consumers are facilitated more and more to get access to their desired commodities, the spending and saving patterns have changed accordingly. People in general and the youth in particular is the focus of the manufacturing sector to make their target market. A vast variety in the form of brands and marks is available to them and they are attracted with the catchy advertisements. The savings are also important for the students as they do not have a stable career in their hand. Several surveys and studies are conducted all over the world to check the saving and spending habits of modern students. Some indicate the students of recent age are spendthrift while others negate the assumption. In the recent last decades, the studies revealed that the students or young people value savings and consider this habit the most valuable in their social life. Sonuga-Barke and Webley (1993) found that children recognise that saving is an efficient form of money management. Children realize that putting money in the bank can form 1 Assistant Prof. Department of Economics, GC University Faisalabad 2Lecturer, Department of Economics, GC University Faisalabad 3Lecturer, Department of Economics, GC University Faisaalabad 2 Journal of Social Sciences both protective and productive functions. Saving was seen in their studies and understood as a legitimate and valuable behaviour, not an economic function. However, the variation depending on the demographic and social features of the students pertaining to their saving and spending habits was also analysed. Furnham and Thomas (1984) found little evidence of sex or class differences in a fifteen item pocket money questionnaire, but, as may be expected, numerous age differences. Social class differences probably remain important but class is difficult to measure accurately and working class children often difficult to test. Older children received more money, saved more, and were more likely to go shopping than younger children. The youth of today is predicted to be more consumption-oriented (Kamath, 2006). The study showed that Indian youth has increased their purchase of ready- made apparel up to 75% in the last 3 to 4 years. According to NSSO survey, the youth is spending more on trendy clothes, mobiles
