Abstract

Since the distant past, social inequality has always been considered as one of the most important issues of human societies, the complexities of the concept of inequality have caused various opinions about the need to adjust or justify it in different societies. In this article, an attempt has been made to analyze the participants' lived experience of social inequality using the qualitative method and interpretive phenomenological approach. For this purpose, through in-depth semi-structured interviews with 21 people who were selected with a purposeful sampling strategy, the required information has been collected. The research findings have been analyzed using the interpretive phenomenological analysis method of Smith et al. 9 categories and 26 concepts were extracted from all the interviews. The extracted categories include: eruption of deprivation, perceived structural discrimination, feeling of abandonment, inefficiency of the government and the brutality of its actions, entrenchment of unequal status, excluded space-place, controlling structural will, intensification of social damage and passivity.
