ABSTRACT

Social problems are often associated with poverty, crime, and sociocultural phenomena that hinder communities from reaching their full potential. This article discusses the factors and challenges in addressing social issues among adolescents living in the Public Housing Program (PPR) in Lembah Subang 1 and 2. A total of 250 respondents participated in this study, which employed a quantitative method through the distribution of questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) through descriptive testing. Overall, the findings indicate that various factors contribute to adolescents experiencing social problems, including financial constraints, environmental influences, personal factors, and family-related issues. In addition, challenges faced by parents in addressing these social issues include lack of parental supervision, rebellious behavior among children, economic difficulties, cultural and value differences, as well as increasingly limited parent-child interactions. Based on the findings, several relevant measures are recommended, such as strengthening law enforcement, conducting awareness campaigns, and encouraging parents to spend more quality time with their children.
