Abstract

, Today, due to economic pressures on one hand and the increasing individuality and anonymity in large cities on the other, begging has emerged as a significant urban issue. Accordingly, this study aims to identify the social and economic contexts contributing to the formation and expansion of female begging in Khorramabad city. The research adopts a qualitative approach, with the study population consisting of all female beggars in Khorramabad. Sampling was conducted purposively, and the sample size was determined based on the saturation criterion, resulting in semi-structured interviews with 15 participants. The collected data were thematically coded and analyzed. Consequently, after coding and analyzing the data, 304 open codes, 30 sub-themes, and 7 main themes were extracted. The findings indicate that the social contexts of begging include "conflict of religious value rationality, unproductive interactions, reduced shame and stigma of begging, and lack of or poor guardianship, " while the economic contexts encompass "lack of vocational skills, begging as an easy income source, and generational poverty. " The results suggest that empowering these women by enhancing their vocational skills and reducing unproductive interactions within familial contexts and chains of generational poverty could redirect them toward productive employment.
