Abstract: The study aimed at investigating the analysis of some factors responsible for alms begging behavior among the people in Abeokuta local government in Ogun state Nigeria. To achieve this, purposive sampling technique was used to select 152 people begging for alms, of which are 146 males and 106 females. The age range was between 20 and 57years with a mean age of 32.4 years. A validated 24- item structured questionnaire tagged “Alms Begging Perspective” (ABP) was developed by the Researchers. The results indicated that the three independent variables accounted for 46.5% variances in alms begging and are significant at the level of 0.05. Also each of the variables showed a positive relationship with alms-begging. On the basis of this, it was recommended that: Counsellor and Social workers should intensify campaign on the need to discourage alms begging. Also, Society should not encourage alms begging by always giving out when asked. Keywords: alms-begging, socio-economic, personal and Religion
