Subjectivist position
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

Objectivist positionA 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 is a condition caused by factors built into the social structure of a particular society that systematically disadvantages or harms a specific segment or a significant number of the society’s population.”
Daniel J. Curran & Claire M. Renzetti
“A social problem exists when there is a sizable difference between the ideals of a society and its actual achievements.”
James Coleman & Harold Kerbo

Social problems are not only subjective states of mind; they are also objective states of affairs.
“A social problem exists when there is a sizeablediscrepancy between what is and what people think ought to be.”
Robert K. Merton1910- 2003
