The content of this article shows that beggar is not a new social problem, along human history there are repeated mentions on it, it is a complex phenomenon, which primary causes are related to vital shortcomings that poor people face.

Este artículo busca ofrecer una visión clara de un problema social desconocido en estas tres ciudades del Caribe colombiano. Así mismo muestra que la mendicidad no es un problema social nuevo; a lo largo de toda la historia de la humanidad se la menciona de manera recurrente, ella es un fenómeno complejo, cuya principal causa se relaciona con las carencias vitales que enfrentan los pobres: la falta de acceso a la educación y servicios de salud, la vulnerabilidad ante situaciones de crisis y la exclusión social, entre otros. Empíricamente, con este estudio se demuestra que la medicidad es un problema de mucha importancia que deben afrontar estas ciudades capitales, producto del desplazamiento campo - ciudad, de la violencia intrafamiliar y del consumo de drogas en población relativamente joven.
