Latent dysfunction refers to unintended negative consequences of a social structure or system that are not immediately apparent or recognized. Unlike manifest dysfunctions, which are openly observed and acknowledged, latent dysfunctions may emerge over time or only become evident under certain conditions. These dysfunctions can impact the overall stability and functionality of societal systems, often leading to unforeseen challenges or issues that require attention. Understanding latent dysfunctions is crucial for effective social analysis and policy-making.
