Abstract

In the age of science and technology, Facebook is almost essential to a person's existence, with late childhood, adolescents, youth, and those over 40 using it. Facebook has reformed students' social and economic lives by enabling connection and growth. This study examines Facebook's social and economic impacts on Hamdard University Bangladesh students. This paper will explain how Facebook affects Hamdard University students' social and economic lives. We examined Facebook's social and economic impact using correlation analysis and chi-square test. Correlation analysis revealed the strength and direction of the relationship between the two variables. However, the chi-square test allowed us to determine whether two categorical variables were significantly associated, such as Facebook use and students' socio-economic background. This helped students understand Facebook's impact. Based on our analysis, it can be concluded that a significant proportion of students employ Facebook as a means of passing their leisure time, with a minimal number of them deriving any financial benefit from it. Consequently, Facebook can be deemed as having both positive and negative implications for students. The results of our analysis can prove to be advantageous for both academics in devising strategies for the personal development of students and for researchers in conducting further analysis.
