Although poverty is a common phenomenon, no group suffers as much from the negative effects of poverty as children. The main question of the article is to ascertain whether the experience of poverty differs between girls and boys? In this article, an ethnographic method is used to collect information from 30 children (16 girls and 14 boys) aged 10 to 17 who have experienced a life of poverty. Data analysis was performed using conventional qualitative content analysis. Findings show that girls and boys experience similar and different experiences of poverty at the same time. While the lack of clothing, housing, and food is similarly experienced and perceived by girls and boys, the fact that girls work at home, their lack of access to public space becomes extra challenges for them. Prolonged stay at home makes access to private space at home more important for girls. On the other hand, the division of gender labor in early childhood is strictly applied to girls and boys in poor families. As boys gain access to money, the resources available to them inside and outside the home increase, but waged labor from an early age increases the physical and psychological stress for boys. A better understanding of child poverty due to gender characteristics can lead to more effective welfare and protection policies.

The precise question in this research is which financial resources are at women disposal in the family? Can they make financial decisions? Answering these questions, a theoretical framework based on Bordiou, Giddens’s and Hakim’s view was made and a mixed method of qualitative and survey was designed. In the qualitative phase data was gathered by using semi structured interviews; and a questionnaire was designed to gather data in the second phase. There are four types of financial resources for women: 1- domestic money 2- pin money 3- heritage 4-salary. Salary is the only income which is not due to women’s traditional social roles. According to data women cannot make decision for important financial matters. It doesn’t seem that by increasing women’s financial resources, the same trend about their supervision on these resources happens. But by increasing women’s access to financial resources, shared decision makings on key financial matters between couples was seen.

The main question in this paper is whether perceptions of health are similar across age groups. If yes, what are these differences? To answer this question, Grounded Theory and Semi-Structured Interviewing Technique with 34Young Adults in Semnan City were used. This study was conducted in two neighborhoods with different levels of economic well-being. This study was conducted in two neighborhoods with different levels of economic well-being and with the emergence of categories, it became theoretical sampling, and with the non-emergence of a new concept in the last four interviews, it became final. Purposeful sampling was used to select the sample of this research. The findings show that there are four main categories of health, health, perception of life, and behavior therapy in understanding health behavior. According to the identified categories and subcategories, four main paradigms were identified. These paradigms are 1. The paradigm pattern of traditional behavior, 2. The beautiful and fit body pattern, 3. The body pattern as a tool, 4. The pattern of returning to nature. Young people are mainly seen in the age group of a beautiful and fit body. The message conditions in this model are the emergence of secondary disease and the dramatic consumption of health goods. Adults are mainly placed in the body pattern by tools.

In this research, we try to find how taking social-family support affects the women without spouses redefining their maternal identity. this research is conducting in the two neighborhoods of Afsaria and Abbasabad in Tehran and conducted based on the grounded theory approach. Data was gathered by semi-structured interviews and also observation. Findings show that women after being in the position of losing their husbands, going through a period of grief and mourning and stay in different situations. Open coding led to the three categories of happy widows, sad widows, and wondering widows. Happy widows can be categorized as dependent women, independent women, and warrior women. Women without spouses redefine their maternity identity in their new position. During the redefinition process, women without spouses can be found in 5 paradigms of the perished woman, dependent woman, wondering woman, warrior woman, and independent woman.Mothehood is the basical part of ridifining identiry of women without spouses, and having family-social support is efective in redifining the maternal identity of them.As perished women and dependent women can be called perished and dependent mothers.Oriented familie’s support is essential in shaping the identity of dependent mothers.
