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.

This study was conducted with the aim of identifying the challenges and obstacles to the empowerment projects of women heads of households under the coverage of the Welfare Organization of Sanandaj. This study was conducted qualitatively and using the purposive sampling method. The participants were 10 experts who cooperate with the Welfare Organization, as well as 15 women heads of households who are covered by the Welfare Organization and have used empowerment programs and services. In order to collect information, semi-structured interviews were used, and thematic analysis was used to analyze the information. Five main themes and eleven sub-themes were obtained from the information analysis. The main themes include: communication gap, process challenges, economic barriers, environmental disabling factors, and structural factors. The four themes were raised jointly by both experts and women heads of households, and the last theme, titled structural factors, was raised only by experts. The results of this study showed that despite the efforts of the Welfare Organization to provide empowerment plans and programs for female heads of households, these plans face various challenges and problems; weakness in performing professional work, lack of facilitation of employment conditions, inefficiency of education, lack of financial support for plans, cultural and social factors, administrative bureaucracy, and weak inter-organizational cooperation are among the obstacles and challenges of the programs.
