Navigating Cultural Transformation in India: Tradition Meets Globalization
type: item
description: Globalization has redefined the contours of Indian culture by introducing new norms that frequently contest longstanding traditions. The present analysis examines four interrelated dynamics—economic liberalization, technological advancements, migration patterns, and the rising education of women—that have collectively driven cultural and social change. Evidence from the study indicates a discernible movement from originally cohesive joint-families toward more autonomous nuclear units, as well as a sustained migration from the countryside to cities. The expanded participation of women in diverse professional sectors, the pervasive circulation of imported commercial goods, and the concurrent bargaining power of indigenous products together illustrate the breadth of this transformation. The paper records a substantive literature review, employs applied ethics to frame the ensuing dilemmas, and applies reflexivity to the researchers’ positionality. It advocates a deliberate equilibrium whereby conserving cultural traditions coexists with responsible engagement with the modern world. The conclusion proposes that coherent policy, judicious legislation, inclusive media campaigns, and curricular innovation must function in tandem to foster social cohesion in the face of ongoing cultural evolution.

The Effects of Urbanization on Mental Health: A Comparative Study of Rural and Urban Populations
type: item
description: As urbanization increases, more people are exposed to mental health risk factors due to the urban physical and social environment. However, research on the relationship between urbanization and mental health is lacking. This cross-sectional study, which was based on the proposed theoretical model, aimed to examine the relationships between physical and social factors (such as urban environment, spatial cohesion, and neighborhood cohesion) and mental health (such as symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression), as well as physical health and the mediating role of loneliness. The ANOVA's findings showed that city dwellers had greater mental health indices than those who resided in rural areas and small towns. Urbanization was one of the most important nodes in the network model, acting as a connection between every other node. The model was validated and showed that the relationships between the physical environment and mental health were successively mediated by neighborhood cohesion and loneliness. While spatial cohesion was linked to both physical environment and physical health parameters, physical health had a clear linkage with sociodemographic traits and a minor correlation with stress. Anxiety was the main risk factor. Improving neighborhood cohesion and restoring deteriorating buildings are two examples of social and architectural features that can improve mental health.

The Effects of Education on Social Mobility: A Study of Intergenerational Mobility
type: item
description: From the most basic to the most sophisticated human societies, social inequality is present in all of them. An unequal distribution of resources, including wealth, income, occupation, and education, is referred to as social inequality. It is a concept that is quantifiable, descriptive, and objective. When inequality is rated, social strata are created in a hierarchical fashion. We refer to this phenomenon as social stratification. The socioeconomic standing of children is influenced by both family history and schooling. On the one hand, education aids in improving lower-level groups' mobility and aptitude. On the other hand, family history has a significant impact on educational opportunities. The current intergenerational mobility of inhabitants is statistically analyzed in this article, it substitutes the parents' level of education for the influence of family background on children's social standing. This study examines how education affects intergenerational mobility using ANOVA models. The findings indicate that offspring of parents with lower levels of education frequently struggle to overcome the negative effects of their family history and advance in society. Children in higher-educated homes can easily maintain their parents' superior employment level.

An Investigation of the Relationship Between Population Change and Electoral Outcomes
type: item
description: Subnational elections have become increasingly important due to the growth in the number and influence of subnational governments worldwide. We still don't fully grasp how regional election results affect citizens' political support, and there isn't a systematic comparison of how election results affect citizens' happiness with democracy. In this research note, we present such a comparison by comparing the winner-loser gap in citizens' satisfaction with democracy between regional and national elections. We first demonstrate that there is a winner-loser divide in democratic satisfaction after regional elections using data from Canada, Germany, and Spain. However, compared to the national election, the regional winner-loser disparity is also much lower. The expanding topic of political demography, which examines the political ramifications of structural population change, is reviewed in this article. It emphasizes how crucial it is to combine studies from political sociology and demography in order to completely comprehend the intricate and subtle connection between political processes and demography.

Exploring the Intersection of Demographic Change and Healthcare Utilization: An Examination of Age-Specific Healthcare Needs and Service Provision
type: item
description: Gerontology is the study of aging inclusive of many aspects such as social, cultural, psychological, cognitive, and biological. Gerontology includes government planning; nursing homes and facilitates the homes or places for older people and examining the impacts of a aging population on society. The aging process entails abundant life changes; it can be positive and negative. The elderly develops varied coping skills and adapt successfully to these changes depend on their personal, social support, and environmental factors, accordingly, maintaining life satisfaction and joy in late life. Lately, the capacity of the family as essential parental figure to the aged has encountered change because of primary changes, above all to the nuclearization of the family. Accordingly, the incomplete shift of caring liability of aged people on the public authority/state as different social and economic security programs. Over the past century, life expectancy has increased dramatically, and the world will soon have more old people than children. Individuals continue to face challenges to their wellbeing and social security in the changes like social structure, physical environment, also their age-related decline and changes. In the context of Indian tradition joint family set up and structure, institutionalized living inevitably induces a perception of conformity, loneliness, and isolation. Even though, institutionalization living is fast becoming a rising trend amongst the elderly in India, due to elderly dependency upon many factors such as socioeconomic status, health condition as well as the unavailability of care and support in their own homes. In the present study efforts have been made to understand the psycho-social needs, psychological wellbeing, hope towards their life.

The Demographic Consequences of Urbanization: A Study of Changes in Family Structure and Household Composition
type: item
description: The process by which villages become towns and towns become cities is known as urbanization. From a demographic perspective, it is the gradual rise in the share of the urban population (U) to the overall population (T). From 350 million in 1947 to 1027 million in 2001, India's population tripled. The urban population increased from 62.4 million to 286 million during the same time span, about 4.6 times as quickly (Census 2001). As a result, independent India has rapidly become more urbanized. The nation's economic development process and pattern have been intimately associated with the urbanization process. India's urbanization process is favourably correlated with economic progress, even though it cannot be entirely explained by the latter. Rapid urbanization and economic growth have caused serious environmental damage that threatens the foundation of environmental resources needed for sustainable development. There is growing worry that environmental stress increases with the size of cities. This is due to the fact that action is found in cities. Urbanization has been exacerbated by the unheard-of population rise along with economic and technical advancements. Opportunities are concentrated in cities. As a result, people are constantly moving to cities. In addition to creating congestion, this puts further strain on the housing and infrastructure facilities that are already in place. Thus, the increasing disparities resulting from logging in response to rapid and widespread urbanization have made the situation in our cities unmanageable and increasingly worrying. In urban living, a large number of "urban" residents and individual homes lack social, economic, and political integration. In addition to the already existing backlog of services and amenities, their low incomes, lack of education, subpar living conditions in slums and squatter settlements, and growing population concentrations have created new problems by overloading the community's environmental life su…

An Exploratory Study of the Relationship Between Population Density and Crime Rates in Urban Areas
type: item
description: Despite its inability to be fully and accurately defined, the term "crime" has been used throughout history and throughout all cultures. The state's penal strategy for social control is reflected in the different definitions of crime provided by jurists. In addition to being illegal, actions that are deemed criminal must also be morally repugnant to the general public. Crime is not a static idea since moral feeling is a variable phrase, and as a result, it evolves with society. Because it is based on moral principles that are accepted by a certain society at a specific moment in a specific country, the definition of crime varies from time to time both within and between countries. This study looks at how crime in suburban and rural communities is impacted by urban sprawl and population density. Population density is thought to provide macro-level crime studies more context and may have an effect on how well social institutions function in neighborhoods. The findings show that both measures of crime at the municipal level can be significantly explained by the traditional neighborhood variables assessed in social disorganization research. Property crime was found to be significantly correlated negatively with population density

An Analysis of the Relationship Between Education and Occupational Attainment
type: item
description: The most crucial factor in a society's development is education. Their perspective was enhanced and fostered by agriculture, and society started to advance more and more as a result of the introduction of additional components such as higher education, administration, culture, trade and commerce, business, religious preferences, and virtues. Similar to today, education was crucial in influencing how they behaved and thought about the social changes that were so advantageous to those cultures' welfare and advancement. The issues and approaches used in studies of intragenerational occupational mobility and intergenerational class mobility have recently tended to diverge. Once educational attainment is taken into account, this reflects presumptions about the growing role that education plays in intergenerational mobility and the declining role that class origins play in intragenerational mobility. Based on empirical evidence, the paper helps to challenge these presumptions. The occupational mobility of men in three groups of people who were born in Britain is investigated during their early working years. Educational qualifications have the biggest influence on mobility opportunities, despite the fact that the value of schooling does not rise among the three cohorts. Class origins also have a considerable impact on mobility opportunities, and this effect holds true across cohorts. Regardless of socioeconomic status or level of education, work-life factors, especially the frequency of professional shifts, often affect mobility options. Though there is no evidence of secular changes in migration patterns, the studies do show a strong cohort effect.

Assessing the Effects of Climate Change on Population Displacement and Migration Patterns in Coastal Communities
type: item
description: One of the biggest global issues influencing migration patterns is climate change, especially in coastal regions that are susceptible to flooding, extreme weather, and sea level rise. With its vast coastline and varied climate, Pakistan is confronted with serious climate-related migration problems, particularly in Karachi, Thatta, Gwadar, Badin, and Muzaffargarh. The purpose of this study is to look into how migration patterns in these five specific Pakistani regions are affected by climate change. The study aims to offer a localized understanding of how climate change influences population mobility by analysing socioeconomic and climatic aspects. Data was collected from 350 people in these regions using a cross-sectional survey design. A systematic online questionnaire was used to collect data, and stratified random sampling was used to guarantee representation from every region. Multiple linear regression, logistic regression, and structural equation modelling (SEM) were among the statistical studies. This study discovered a high positive correlation between migratory patterns and climate change variables, such as flooding, temperature rises, and sea level rise. The likelihood of migration was influenced by indirect socioeconomic factors as well as direct effects of climate change. The SEM analysis showed that the association between migration and climate change is somewhat mediated by climate awareness. In conclusion, migration in Pakistan's coastal villages is greatly influenced by climate change, with both the direct environmental effects and the socioeconomic circumstances being important factors. Comprehensive adaption plans and increased climate knowledge are crucial. Climate resilience should be the main emphasis of policy through early warning systems, infrastructure upgrades, and socioeconomic assistance initiatives. Enhancing economic and educational possibilities is essential for managing climate-induced migration and fostering community resilience.

The Relationship Between Education and Fertility Rates: A Comparative Study of Developing and Developed Countries
type: item
description: Through its effects on other factors that directly affect fertility, education can have an indirect effect on fertility. Numerous population science studies have examined the connection between fertility and education. In both theoretical and empirical findings, the causal relationship between the population's qualitative development through education and its number growth through births has been described. Scholars became more interested in the quest for a rational connection between fertility and economic development. The majority of articles from the 1950s and 1960s fall within the transmission theory paradigm, which supported the implicit premise that fertility and economic progress are inversely correlated. In terms of fertility management, the Tamil Nadu government has made incredible strides, and its record stands out when compared to other states. This exceptional achievement might be the result of the government's earnest attempts to promote family planning, but once more, there may have been other factors at play that contributed to this intriguing reduction. India's family planning program has achieved amazing strides in reducing fertility. Numerous national research on family planning and fertility indicate that the usage of contraception is significantly influenced by women's education in particular and education in general. Most of these studies have not thoroughly investigated the connection between women's reproductive behaviour, family planning, and education.
