Abstract
The issue of begging is a universal phenomenon, and it is not specific to any part of the country. Beggary is the most unconventional, social evil and curse in a society but, it is also an integrated socio-economic factor in a society. The present paper investigates beggary in Hyderabad division from sociological perspective. For that, the aim and objectives were developed. On the basis of the aim and objectives, some hypotheses were formulated for verification. The data was collected through survey questionnaire from the beggars of Hyderabad division. The total samples were 385. The data was analyzed through Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21.0 for windows. The results of Pearson’s correlation show that there is a positive and significant relationship among poverty, unemployment, special days, crime, educational background, and beggary. This study may be proved through a road map assessing for beggary in Pakistan, particularly in Sindh. This study may also be helpful in order to know and understand the causes, consequences as well as factors which urge the people to beg.
