Usage Note

Problemática (feminine noun) refers to the complex of problems associated with a subject or situation (la problemática medioambiental, the environmental problem set). It is common in academic, journalistic, and political discourse and is not a synonym of problema (a single problem) — it always implies a broader, systemic dimension.

Examples

"Abordaron la problemática del desempleo juvenil."

Natural Translation

They addressed the problem of youth unemployment.
