Corporate Social Responsibility has gained increased attention from both the researchers and practitioners during the last two decades. CSR has been found to improve companies’ image and customer loyalty in the developed countries but in developing countries, consumers are mostly unaware and unsupportive towards it. However, based on the similarities between the urban global youth and a strong support for CSR in the developed world, it can be argued that the urban youth in the developing countries may also be supportive of CSR. This study attempted to explore whether or not young consumers from urban areas of Pakistan are supportive of CSR. Results of the study are quite similar to the findings in developed countries and there exists a support for the CSR activities of the firms among the urban youth of Pakistan.
