Abstract

Abstract Religious minorities are victims of poverty in many parts of the globe. They are subject to discrimination and marginalization which hamper their economic development. The purpose of this research study is to explore those factors that contribute to their poverty and low socioeconomic status in District Kohat of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa-Pakistan. The study was qualitative, based on the application of the grounded-theory method for data collection and analysis. The researcher interviewed a diverse group of respondents by using a purposive sampling technique: a total of 26 respondents were interviewed, which included 13 Christians, 7 Hindus, and 6 Sikhs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted until the saturation point of data was attained. The fundamental elements behind the poor economic position of the Participants were explored and summed up under one thematic code, namely socio-economic impediments, which included monopoly in job selection, joblessness, nature of jobs, lack of respect, workplace bullying, work hazards, exclusion in corporate sectors and lack of promotion. All the identified categories were arranged in a diagrammatic model, which provides an easier understanding of the economic position of religious minorities and developing their status both at national as well as global level.

作为贫困受害者的宗教少数群体:巴基斯坦开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省科哈特贫困经济状况背后的社会经济障碍
摘要宗教少数群体是全球许多地区贫困的受害者。他们受到歧视和边缘化,阻碍了他们的经济发展。本研究的目的是探讨巴基斯坦开伯尔-普赫图赫瓦省科哈特区贫困和社会经济地位低下的因素。该研究是定性的,基于对数据收集和分析的扎根理论方法的应用。研究人员使用有目的的抽样技术采访了一组不同的受访者:共采访了26名受访者,其中包括13名基督徒、7名印度教徒和6名锡克教徒。进行半结构化访谈,直到达到数据的饱和点。与会者在一个专题守则中探讨和总结了经济状况不佳背后的基本因素,即社会经济障碍,其中包括在工作选择方面的垄断、失业、工作性质、缺乏尊重、工作场所欺凌、工作危险、企业部门的排斥和缺乏晋升。所有确定的类别都以图解模式排列,这使人们更容易了解宗教少数群体的经济地位,并发展他们在国家和全球层面的地位。
