Poverty and social inequality is one of the major problems of cities in developing countries, which has occurred following rapid urbanization. The purpose of this research is to explain the phenomenon of urban poverty in the south and southwest of Tehran (17, 18 and 19 districts) through a data-oriented and qualitative research. For this purpose, the grounded theory research method was used. The research technique includes direct observation, document review, and in-depth and semi-structured interviews. The participants in the research include heads of poor households living in the mentioned areas. in total, 37 people participated in the research. The sampling method is purposeful and snowball, which continued until the theoretical saturation stage. The results of the research based on the paradigm model are located in the five axes of causal conditions, background conditions, intervening conditions, strategies and consequences. In this topic, strategies and consequences are discussed. Based on the results, exclusion from the labor market was recognized as a central category in the phenomenon of poverty in the studied areas in Tehran. The results show that poor rural migrants have turned to methods for survival in the city due to the weakness of economic and human capital and unfavorable economic and employment conditions, which include informal and temporary employment, shared housing, and alternative treatment methods.

The purpose of this study is to understand the lived experience of urban poor of the causes affecting poverty. The research method was grounded theory and the study population included the heads of urban poor households living in districts 17, 18 and 19 of Tehran Municipality. Sampling was initially purposeful and continued until the stage of theoretical saturation. As a result, the nuclear category emerged as social exclusion from the labor market. Findings based on the paradigm model of the research were divided into five axes (causal conditions, intervening conditions and contextual conditions, strategies and consequences). In this article, the causal conditions of exclusion from the labor market are discussed. According to the participants, causal conditions include four main categories: economic capital weakness, human capital weakness, unfavorable economic conditions and unfavorable employment conditions. According to the findings, many urban poor living in the study areas had a history of rural poverty, the most obvious aspect of which is the weakness of economic and human capital. Also, their employment conditions in the city are very much affected by unfavorable economic conditions (such as: economic sanctions, outbreak of coronary heart disease, mechanization of production and provision of services and the presence of foreign nationals) and unfavorable employment conditions to the extent that these conditions have led to the perpetuation of inter generational poverty.
