the present study aims to provide a sociological explanation of the role of marginalization in the formation and expansion of the phenomenon of child labor in the city of Karaj. This research adopts a qualitative approach and employs the grounded theory methodology based on the Strauss and Corbin model. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 11 managers, officials, planners, and experts from institutions related to social, urban, and supportive domains in the city of Karaj, and were analyzed until theoretical saturation was achieved.
Data analysis, conducted through the three stages of open, axial, and selective coding, led to the identification of a paradigmatic model indicating that the phenomenon of child labor, within the context of urban marginalization, results from the interaction of a set of causal, contextual, and intervening conditions. The causal conditions include structural inefficiencies within political, economic, social, cultural, and demographic systems, manifested in poverty, unemployment, social inequality, weak policymaking, and widespread migration. These conditions are intensified within a contextual framework characterized by social inequalities, limited family awareness, and restricted access to urban facilities, and are reproduced through intervening factors such as weak institutional interventions, informal employment, and family tensions.
The findings indicate that marginalization not only facilitates children’s entry into the labor market but also leads to the sustained reproduction of this phenomenon through institutional inefficiency and inadequate social support systems. Accordingly, the adoption of strategies such as equitable distribution of urban services, strengthening supportive policies, empowering families, and implementing neighborhood-based interventions can be effective in reducing the phenomenon of child labor in marginalized areas of the city of Karaj.
