GLOBALIZATION AND ITS IMPACT ON YOUTH A SOCIOLOGICAL STUDY BASED ON DELHI NCR

Sociologists believe Globalization is a continuous process that involves interconnected changes in a multiplicity of spheres such as economic, cultural, geographical, political, and social. The process emphasizes the culminating integration of these aspects between nations, regions, communities, and even seemingly isolated places. The cultural connotation of the term signifies the spread and amalgamation of values, norms, lifestyles, and behaviors. Whereas, the economic association of the same refers to the enlargement of capitalism to turn the whole world into an integrated economic system. Finally, the political implication of globalization roots in the development of forms of governance at the global scale, creating a cooperative environment within nations to abide by the enacted global policies and rules. These three fundamental aspects of globalization are fuelled by technological progress, the universal integration of communication technologies, and the global circulation of media. India is the world's youngest country due to the large youth population present. This demographic dividend is a crucial phase for India's development. Thus, the situation presses on the need to analyze the impact of globalization on youth. To aggregate all significant data and information, secondary data collection has been used as a research methodology. The secondary sources helped to collect, interpret and analyze data regarding the involvement of youth in promoting as well as applying the concept of Globalization. Various sources, ranging from Government data, Journal papers, Articles, and other online sources have been beneficial for research. Moreover, a survey was also conducted to support other sources, in the region of Delhi NCR. Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, the survey was conducted online, through the medium of ‘Google Meets'. The survey provided opinions of the youth which became the foundations of the research paper. The sources, both primary sources such as survey and secondary sources, are carefully chosen to ensure comprehension and relevance with the area of study.
