Nowadays, the most important social component in societies, which takes a big step in individuals’ life and playing their role in society, is the need for social security. Social security is not a simple concept, rather it is the main infrastructure and structure of a person in the personal, family and community realms. The present research is aimed at exploring the social exclusion and social security of people in Tehran and analyzing the factors involved in the social exclusion of people that cause their social insecurity.

Through using grounded theory technique; open coding, central coding, and selective coding of the interview data were done, respectively; and then by determining the core category of theorizing the process was done.

The findings of the research indicated that social exclusion has a significant impact on social security, and those who suffer from social exclusion have very little social security.As a result, the higher the level of social exclusion, the more it causes consequences such as depression, isolation, social damage and even social violence among individuals. Factors such as economic and cultural problems, as well as personal and social trainings also have a significant impact on individuals’ social exclusion. Proper training in childhood, creating an environment for growth, education and good facilities in adolescence and adulthood may prevent social exclusion. Enjoying social security has a significant impact on the structure of growth and productivity of society.
