Abstract

Addictions among students in educational institutions present complex socio-economic challenges. This literature review examines existing research on substance abuse, digital and behavioral addictions, and their impact on academic performance, institutional resources, and societal outcomes. The review synthesizes findings from international studies, highlighting patterns, risk factors, and intervention strategies. Key socio-economic consequences include increased dropout rates, higher institutional expenditures, and long-term social costs. By identifying gaps in current research and prevention programs, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the socio-economic implications of addictions in the educational context. The review emphasizes the need for evidence-based policies and integrated interventions to mitigate these impacts.
