Subjectivist position
A condition is a social problem only when it is perceived as undesirable.
A social problem exists when a significant number of people – or a small number of significant people – believe that a certain condition is in fact a problem in need of remedy.
“No condition, no matter how dramatic or shocking to someone else, is a social problem unless the values of a considerable number of people within the society define it as a problem.”
Paul B. Horton & Gerald R. Leslie

“A social problem is a condition caused by factors built into the social structure of a particular societythat systematically disadvantages or harms a specificsegment or a significant number of the society’s population.”
Daniel J. Curran & Claire M. Renzetti
Objectivist position
A social problem exists as soon as a significant number of individuals are adversely affected by a phenomenon related to social factors, even if no one recognizes it.
“A social problem exists when there is a sizable difference between the ideals of a society and its actual achievements.”
James Coleman & Harold Kerbo
