Abstract: Individuals' social and economic circumstances have a significant influence on the sports participation of pupils across various educational levels. Theoretical frameworks that establish a link between the socioeconomic status (SES) and athletic participation of university students will aid strategists in making informed decisions about the future of higher education, sports lovers, and the country. To assist policy makers, several studies have been conducted worldwide by a variety of researchers. Younger generations' sports involvement is influenced by several things. The chance to comprehend different tactics used by governments and sports organisations to entice the younger generation to actively participate in sports is made possible by the SES as well as the interest in and participation in sports around the world. This study aims to compile the contributions of research academics from various nations who have been actively working to investigate the relationship between SES variables and sports participation.
