    This document discusses social problems in India. It provides background information on India's population size and breakdown between urban and rural. It then defines what is meant by "social" and "problem" in this context. Some key characteristics of social problems are that they are situations that threaten society or impede important aspirations, involve behavior that violates social norms, and represent gaps between preferences and reality. Causes of social problems can be structural, individual, or cultural. The development of a social problem generally progresses through stages of emergence, legitimization, mobilization of action, and implementation of solutions.

    which seriously threatens society itself or impedes the important aspirations of many
    people.”
    Merton and Nisbet define social problem as “A way of behaviour that is regarded by
    a substantial part of society as being in violation of one or more generally accepted
    or approved norms”.
    According to Carr: “A social problem exists whenever we become conscious of a
    difficulty, a gap between our preference and the reality”.
