Demographic and Socio-Economic Divide
The index reveals a stark contrast across different socio-economic classes (SEC). Respondents in SEC A (the highest income group) reported a low uncertainty score of 64, while those in SEC B (82) and SEC C (83) felt significantly more vulnerable. This underscores the critical role that financial buffers and access to resources play in mental well-being.
Key Demographic Trends:
Age: Older generations, specifically Baby Boomers and Gen X, report higher anxiety than Millennials and Gen Z.
Gender: Women reported slightly higher uncertainty levels than men.
Life Stage: Married individuals with children feel a marginally higher burden of uncertainty compared to singles.
Urban Infrastructure Pressures
As Hyderabad continues its rapid expansion, infrastructure-related stress is becoming a prominent factor. Residents are increasingly worried about whether the city’s current systems—such as transport, water, and waste management—can keep pace with the surging population growth.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that while Hyderabad is performing better than many other Indian metros, the “multi-layered uncertainty landscape”—comprising workplace stress, mental health, and global economic shifts—requires proactive financial planning. The study reinforces that adequate insurance and diversified investments remain the most effective tools for building long-term confidence.
