is a group of common problems in present-day society and ones that many
people strive to solve. It is often the consequence of factors extending
beyond an individual's control.
• A social issue is a problem that affects many people within a society. It is a
group of common problems in present-day society and ones that many
people strive to solve. It is often the consequence of factors extending
beyond an individual's control. Social issues are the source of conflicting
opinions on the grounds of what is perceived as morally correct or incorrect
personal life or interpersonal social life decisions. Social issues are
distinguished from economic issues; however, some issues (such as
immigration) have both social and economic aspects. Some issues do not
fall into either category, such as warfare.
Major Social Issues
In our country ,we are facing many social issue right now. Poverty is a worldwide social
issue, and it gives birth to many social issues which need to be eradicated as early as
possible. Below, we have discussed a few social issues that need to be addressed
seriously .
1) Poverty Related Issues
2) child labour
3) Gender equality
4) Overpopulation
5) Corruption
6) Caste Related Issues
7) Terrorism
8) Unemployment
9) Health
Poverty Related Issues
• Poverty and homelessness are worldwide problems.
According to Habitat for Humanity, one-quarter of the
world's population lives in conditions that harm their
health and safety. Many do not have shelter, a basic
human need for survival.
• This social issue also goes beyond the 25% of the
population directly affected. Because of the lack of
shelter for this vulnerable population, there is greater
stress on government and social programs, including
schools and healthcare systems.
child labour

• Child labour refers to the exploitation of children through any form of

work that deprives children of their childhood, interferes with their ability
to attend regular school, and is mentally, physically, socially and morally
harmful.[3] Such exploitation is prohibited by legislation worldwide,[4][5]
although these laws do not consider all work by children as child labour;
exceptions include work by child artists, family duties, supervised
training, and some forms of child work practiced by indian children.
• Children belong in schools not workplaces. Child labour
deprives children of their right to go to school and
reinforces intergenerational cycles of poverty. Child
labour acts as a major barrier to education, affecting
both attendance and performance in school.
Gender equality

• Globally girls have higher survival rates at birth, are more likely to be developmentally
on track, and just as likely to participate in preschool, but India is the only large
country where more girls die than boys. Girls are also more likely to drop out of
school.
• In India girls and boys experience adolescence differently. While boys tend to
experience greater freedom, girls tend to face extensive limitations on their ability to
move freely and to make decisions affecting their work, education, marriage and social
relationships.
• There are risks, violations and vulnerabilities girls face just because they are girls. Most
of these risks are directly linked to the economic, political, social and cultural
disadvantages girls deal with in their daily lives. This becomes acute during crisis and
disasters.
• With the prevalence of gender discrimination, and social norms and practices, girls
become exposed to the possibility of child marriage, teenage pregnancy, child
domestic work, poor education and health, sexual abuse, exploitation and violence.
Many of these manifestations will not change unless girls are valued more.
Overpopulation
• As the population of the world grows, resources become
scarcer. The United Nations reports that the current
population of 7.7 billion people is expected to grow in
coming decades, with a projection of 8.5 billion people
by 2030.
• The fastest growing areas of the world, such as sub-
Saharan Africa, often face already scarce resources like
land for farming. As the population becomes more than
the country can sustain, people will need to move
elsewhere to avoid starvation and homelessness.
Corruption

• Corruption in India is an issue which affects economy of central, state

and local government agencies in many ways. Corruption is blamed for
stunting the economy of India.[1] A study conducted by
Transparency International in 2005 recorded that more than 62% of
Indians had at some point or another paid a bribe to a public official to get
a job done.[2][3] In 2008, another report showed that about 50% of Indians
had first hand experience of paying bribes or using contacts to get
services performed by public offices.[4] In 2021 their
Corruption Perceptions Index ranked the country in 85th place out of 180,
on a scale where the lowest-ranked countries are perceived to have the
most honest public sector.[5] Various factors contribute to corruption,
including officials siphoning money from government social welfare
schemes .
Caste Related Issues
• India’s caste system has been around for over two thousand years rooted in the
Hindu religion and its traditions. Hinduism separates people by social hierarchy
groups—known as castes—based on the community they are born into.
• This categorization is often justified by the religious doctrine of Karma, which is the
belief that an individual’s place in life and the caste hierarchy is determined by their
actions in their past life. Throughout history, it’s also been believed that individuals
and their families should remain locked within their own castes by marrying those
within their caste. The caste hierarchy does not allow anyone to change their caste.
• The caste system is broken up into five main categories: Brahmins (priests and
teachers), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (merchants, traders, and
farmers), Shudras (laborers), and Dalits (“untouchables,” like street sweepers and
restroom cleaners).
• The most concerning part of the caste system in India is how those in the so-called
“lower castes” - Shudras and those outside of all the castes —continue to be
treated. Two important groups to know about are the Dalits and the “Other
Backward Classes.”
Terrorism

• Terrorism in India, according to the Home Ministry, poses a significant threat to

the people of India. Compared to other countries, India faces a wide range of
terror groups. Terrorism found in India includes Islamic terrorism,
Hindutva terrorism, Separatist terrorism, and left-wing terrorism[5][6][7] India is one
of the countries most impacted by terrorism.[5][8]
• A common definition of terrorism is the systematic use or threatened use of
violence to intimidate a population or government for political, religious, or
ideological goals.[9][10]
• India continues to face a number of terror attacks from Islamic groups in Kashmir
, Sikh separatists in Punjab, and secessionist groups in Assam.[5] The regions
with long term terrorist activities have been Jammu and Kashmir, east-central and
south-central India (Naxalism) and the Seven Sister States. In August 2008,
National Security Advisor M K Narayanan has said that there are as many as 800
terrorist cells operating in the country.
Unemployment

• Unemployment in India, statistics has traditionally had been

collected, compiled and disseminated once every ten years by
the Ministry of Labour and Employment (MLE), primarily from
sample studies conducted by the National Sample Survey
Office.[1][2] Other than these 5-year sample studies, India has –
except since 2017 – never routinely collected monthly, quarterly
or yearly nationwide employment and unemployment statistics.
In 2016, Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy – a non-
government entity based in Mumbai, started sampling and
publishing monthly unemployment in India statistics.
Health

• Widespread health conditions (often characterized as epidemics

or pandemics) are of concern to society as a whole. They can
harm the quality of life, the ability of people to contribute to society
(e.g. by working), and can result in death.
• Infectious diseases are often public health concerns because they
can spread quickly and easily, affecting large numbers of people.
The World Health Organization has an acute interest in combating
infectious disease outbreaks by minimizing their geographic and
numerical spread and treating the affected. Other conditions for
which there is not yet a cure or even effective treatment, such as
dementia, can be viewed as public health concerns in the long run.
What Are The Main Effects Of Social
Issues?

The drawback of social issues.
There are many drawbacks to all social issues. This includes:
• 1. Social issues are situations that have adverse and harmful
consequences for society.
• 2. Social issues arise when people leave from nature or society
from an ideal situation.
• 3. Almost all social issues have some common origins.
• 4. Many of them are interrogating, and if one solves, the other will
also resolve.
• 5. Social issues have a massive lousy impact on society and can
affect any part of it.
• 6. Social issues need a common approach to the solution.
• 7. Almost everywhere, societies in this world have social issues.
• 8. India is struggling with many social issues such as the caste system, child labor, illiteracy, gender inequality, superstition,
• religious conflicts, and more. It is a critical time for society to free
itself from these undesirable social evils.
conclusion
Society can solve social issues themselves. These issues make up a
barrier to the progress of society, which is why we should work
together to end them. If we do not unite against them, social issues
will continue to grow. It can be solved only through mass
consciousness, education, humanity, and a positive attitude.
