Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of lifestyle of female headed households in two groups of women in poor and Self-sufficient women under the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee of Khorasan Razavi Province. In this research, a survey method and researcher-made questionnaire were used and the reliability of the questionnaire components was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The statistical population of this study is two groups of females headed households under 60 years of age. The first group includes women who are covered by the Relief Committee and remain in poverty and the second group includes women who have already been poor and are currently self-sufficient. Sampling was done randomly and the sample size was calculated using the Cochran formula and 938 persons were determined. Data were analyzed by SPSS software. The results of statistical tests show that the individual characteristics of female households (self-esteem, social status, literacy, entrepreneurial characteristics and good management) between women's groups are out of poverty and the women's group in the poor is significantly different. Also, among the individual characteristics of individuals, "individual good management" has had a higher priority. The findings of the research show that the lifestyle of women headed by the family leads to the loss of family poverty and Poor lifestyles cause people to survive in poverty and ultimately become trapped in social harm.
