Research Methodology:
2.1 Introduction:
We conduct a survey to document the perceptions of slum dwellers about causes of poverty and petty corruption and examine how fate affects poverty and other related variables. Since no one has funded this research, it was not possible for us financially to visit all these slum areas. Moreover, almost all of these slum areas have very similar structure. Once you are inside the area you cannot recognize in which slum area you are in. We have selected all areas of five districts of Karachi (Central, East, Malir, South and West) so that we have representation of each district in our sample. And have visited these areas along with different people who somehow know someone in these areas and interviewed 100 respondents including heads of the households. 2.2 Study Objective: i) In this study, we will explore and study the perception about poverty and corruption of the poor People living in the slums of Karachi.
