Abstract

 
The basic challenge of poverty reduction policies in Iran is to present a true and real picture of this phenomenon. Although many studies have been conducted in the field of poverty, most of the studies have been isolated, diverse and unrelated, and often concentrated on the field of economics. It makes it difficult to consider poverty in other dimensions. Due to the importance of understanding poverty and verifying the studies done, this study seeks for a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of poverty using meta-analysis and the study seeks to answer the question of what are the general factors affecting poverty and what are the shortcomings of poverty studies. The statistical population was 45 studies between the 2001-2021, of which 32 studies were selected based on sampling criteria. The findings of the research show that the studies of poverty in Iran are mainly focused on the field of economics and are descriptive, scattered, isolated and lack synergy. Even where they have focused on the causes of poverty, they are based on non-structural factors of poverty rather than deep structor of variables. These causes are: inflation, unemployment, lack of skills, economic capital, gender, dependency burden, social capital and education.
