When I applied for a Visa, I had to explain them what my parents do etc. Basically you have to convince them that you have enough reasons to return back home. You can do that in many ways, like saying all your family is home, or you own a house at home etc. It is pretty much about convincing the person working at the consulate.

I am guessing in certain countries they are stricter than others. I think there is an issue with Indians overstaying their Visa in the US, so maybe that's why they are so strict over there.
