The role of struggling youths in Indian Society

Abstract

In this technological era genome technology is progressing rapidly and there has been a growth in the interest of social genomics pertaining to the amount genetics are involved in forming and resulting in social relationships. This study aims to understand the role of struggling youths in Indian Society. There is an objective to facilitate the hardships of youth towards societal integration and improved quality of life. A systematic review of literature has been utilised in this study to understand differing social factors affecting genome activity in youths in India. Results have indicated that the youths in India face challenges pertaining to education, mental health including stress and depression, employment, corruption, peer pressure linked to drug, alcohol and substance abuse. Within this study there is a focus on mental health, education, and environment. Results have revealed that genetics do influence attainment levels directly via social mobility and through domestic family environments. An individual’s genetics does not solely or directly affect educational attainment levels; however it influences the development of behaviours and traits which result in the success of educational endeavours. Recommendations are made to facilitate the hardships of youth towards societal integration and improved quality of life. The production of new research can provide future opportunities to unravel the genomic factors that influence outcomes for challenges faced by the youth in India.
