A number of studies have examined some forms of child labor, but there are no studies that systematically address the various forms of child labor, their contexts, characteristics, and consequences. In this study, using a qualitative method, the forms of child labor in Tehran have been studied. The study was conducted using the grounded theory method. The study population consists of three groups of children, their employers and child specialists. In order to analyze the findings, a three-step coding method was used to construct the theory of child labor. Findings show that children in Tehran work in various forms of work, including the worst form of work. The relations of these works are divided into three categories: kinship, employer and organized. The main causes of child labor are the development gap in the country, the war and poverty in Afghanistan, the poverty of families, the culture of some communities about children and child labor, the informal labor market and the legal framework and law enforcement. Also, the reasons for children and their families to work are to cover part of the household expenses, to learn skills in the absence of a link between education and employment. The main strategies of children and their families are a number of actions in order to promote and increase income and reduce work risks. In addition to being exploited, children in various forms of work, depending on their circumstances and characteristics, harms their physical and mental health and disorder their effective socialization.

AbstractThe violent actions of students at the school level have become one of the main issues of the education system in recent years, as we witness bitter and violent events at the school level every day. This research was carried out with the aim of Analyzing and gaining knowledge about the phenomenon of adolescent violence in school using a qualitative and ground theory method in the academic year of 1400-1401. The participants in the research were 32 students with violent behaviors and 4 students who were aware of these behaviors, and a total of 36 male students of the second secondary level of Karaj city were interviewed. Sampling was purposeful and with maximum variety, and interviews were conducted individually and based on semi-structured interview format, according to the participants' experiences, and analyzed using MAXQDA 20 software. Based on Strauss and Corbin's model, the variables "authoritarian parenting style", "economic problems", "bullying identity display", and "family disorder" as causal conditions and the categories of "virtual bullying" and "prejudice" as background conditions. "Inefficiency of schools" and "decrease in the level of resilience" were determined as intervening conditions. The strategy of teenagers with violent behavior includes bullying, denial of violence and dialogue (discussion in order to resolve conflict), which have been faced with consequences such as "psychological injuries", "punishment", and "regret and regret". The central category of the research is named "violence as a person's reaction to nervousness".

Population is one of the important and vital issues in any country, and fertility and childbearing are considered as its main components. The present study aims to understand the perception of women regarding the impact of incentive policies on childbearing. This research uses a qualitative research method and a case study approach, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. To achieve the research objectives, 17 married women with different educational and occupational levels living in Tehran were purposively selected, and the interviews continued until data saturation was reached. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis method. The research findings are categorized into two main themes: “Barriers related to fertility and childbearing” and “Perception and understanding of women participating in supportive childbearing policies”, which include sub-themes such as “Financial and economic challenges”, “Marginalization of maternal values”, “Changes in values and norms”, “Lack of maternal skills and capabilities”, as well as themes like “Perception and understanding of supportive policies”, “Advertising and information dissemination”, “Implementation of incentive policies”, “Childbearing as a religious and national duty”. Overall, the research findings indicate that the demands and desires of the interviewed women for desirable policy-making in the field of childbearing incentive policies can be categorized into two groups: “Providing maternal facilities” and “Making job integration and women’s affairs compatible”. It is necessary for policymakers to pay special attention to these demands and desires of women in addition to the supportive policies provided.

The main purpose of this qualitative study is to analyze causes, contexts and consequences of erlay marriage from standpoint of married school- girls. The conceptual framework of this study refers to the sociological Theories about family. The present study is qualitative (field) one. In this study, based on purposive and theoretical sampling methods are selected 16 married female school- girls in Sardrood section of Razan city as sample; the criterion of determining the sample size is theoretical saturation. Data are collected via open-ended questionnaires and in-depth individual interviews.

According to married girls, the cultural contexts of early marriage are social and religious values of marriage” and its social contexts are “collapse of the family”, “social networks”, and “flexibility of the law (prohibition of marriage with children)”.

This study aims to identify the factors influencing the tendency toward singlehood among employed women in executive agencies in Tehran, with an emphasis on modern lifestyle indicators. A qualitative research method with a grounded theory approach was employed, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 13 experts in the field of family studies. The findings reveal that the tendency toward singlehood among employed women is influenced by three main categories: social transformations, financial and economic dimensions, and cultural and identity-related characteristics.In the domain of social transformations, the redefinition of values and social attitudes, parental acceptance of new lifestyles adopted by their children, and broader shifts at both macro and micro levels were key influencing factors. In terms of financial and economic aspects, women’s participation in the economy, rising marriage costs, and increasing economic uncertainties have driven many women toward choosing a single lifestyle. Additionally, in the cultural and identity dimension, family-based cultural capital, changing patterns of leisure activities, and evolving feminine values have played a critical role in shaping women’s attitudes toward marriage.The results of this study indicate that the tendency toward singlehood among employed women is not merely an individual choice but is closely tied to structural changes within society. Shifting social attitudes, increased participation of women in economic and academic activities, economic pressures, and cultural changes have led to delayed marriages and a growing desire for independence. These developments highlight the need for social policies that align with the needs and priorities of employed women.

Cancer is a distressing and difficult experience for women. Despite the numerous challenges posed by this disease, especially for married women, few studies have examined these challenges. The present study was conducted with the aim of explaining the challenges experienced by women with female cancers, using a qualitative method and thematic analysis technique. The study began in December 1402 and data collection and study lasted until June 1403. Purposeful sampling was conducted on 24 married women with female cancers living in Qom; participants were aged 20 to 65 years.In total, 9 main categories and 33 sub-themes were identified, and the final theme of “multifaceted dysfunction” was extracted as a summary of the participants’ lived experiences. The main themes in the first stage were the initial painful encounter with the disease; In the treatment phase, the threat to the role of wife, mental turmoil, emotional vulnerability, decreased family support, structured limitation of services, quality of service provided by the medical staff; and in the post-treatment phase, the threat to the role of wife-motherhood, psychological and material anxiety of the disease returning. The results showed that married women with female cancers face various challenges from the moment they are informed of the disease until after treatment. Understanding these challenges can provide a proper understanding of the issues of this group of women at each stage so that specialists, in addition to medical treatments, can design more effective and comprehensive assistance programs to improve their health status in all aspects.

Accordingly, the aim of this study is to analyze mothers' performance in the process of shaping their children's cultural capital and to identify the challenges they face along this path. This study employed an ethnographic approach, using semi-structured ethnographic interviews and observations for data collection. The participants included 20 mothers aged 33 to 48 . The findings indicate that mothers, through their emotional capital, utilize various resources to establish strong bonds with their children and cultivate traits that society values as cultural capital. They achieve this through self-sacrifice and by dedicating significant time to direct education or by enrolling their children in various classes to equip them with diverse skills, thereby shaping their cultural capital. However, mothers encounter several challenges in the process of generating and accumulating cultural capital for their children, including: 1) The dilemma of being an "adequate" or "perfect" mother; 2)The conflict between motherhood, employment, and professional advancement; 3) A perceived lack of cultural capital. The research findings indicate that mothers, by leveraging their emotional capital, use resources to establish a strong bond with their children in order to cultivate qualities in their children that are valued by society. They spend time teaching their children or equip them with various skills by taking them to different classes, thereby shaping their children's cultural capital. In the process of producing and accumulating cultural capital in their children, mothers face challenges that entail both negative and positive outcomes for them.
