beggar is a person who earns his livelihood by begging. Sometimes beggars go from person person for an alm or beg from door to door. Begging is their sole business on which they and their enti family depend. But it is not a profession. Rather it is a serious social sore which creeps into the society and eats up the entire body of the society. It is a social problem because it does not give anything to the society. It is an unproductive activity. It corrodes self-dignity and self-respect of the beggars. In the beggar it creates a kind of disrespect to labour. They develop a sense of effacement and laziness. There are multifarious reasons behind this problem. Firstly, Bangladesh is a poor country where 60 percent people live below the poverty line. Besides, income-discrepanc is very wide here. Secondly, physical handicap as blindness, deafness , dumbness Trofone lameness, etc. are the causes that compel the poor to beg for their living, Thirdly, unemployment problem is rampant here. As a result, a large portion of unemployed persons choose begging as their profession. Fourthly, Bangladesh is a land of natural disaster. It occurs frequently in our country which leaves thousands of our people rootless, helpless and workless. It eventually forces them to adopt begging as their profession. In our country the effects of begging are the country gets deprived of manpower, the beggars many times get involved in anti-social activities unemployment rate is increasing rapidly, etc. However, it is very urgent to remove this problem from our country. To alleviate it, first of all, we have to create enough employment opportunities. Secondly, we have to rehabilitate them. The inactive persons should be provided with old-age pension, etc. Thus we can get rid of this problem.
