(Beggars begging odd jobs unemployment) This paper makes a theoretical and reflexive approach to inequality and poverty in San José de Cúcuta, North Santander, border between Colombia and Venezuela. It presents factors associated with unemployment, which contribute to begging, alms and odd jobs from a socio–economic environment, collects basic information applying a semi-structured survey (random) to a specific population: determining agents of a permanent practice of informal economy in the city. The results refer to a population sample from, for the most part, to a different regions of the country, associated with such aspects of not only economic, but social and forced displacement because of internal armed conflict and violence (IDPs: Internally Displaced Persons), leading to their establishment in the city which has generated health, education, security problems, among others. El artículo es una aproximación teórico–reflexiva a la desigualdad y la pobreza en la ciudad de San José de Cúcuta, frontera entre Colombia y Venezuela. Muestra factores asociados al desempleo, analiza temas como la mendicidad, la limosna y el rebusque desde un entorno socioeconómico, recopila información mediante la aplicación de una encuesta semiestructurada (aleatoria) a una población específica: los agentes que determinan la práctica permanente de economía informal en la ciudad. Los resultados expresan una población proveniente, en su gran mayoría, de diferentes regiones del país, asociada a aspectos no solamente de índole económico, sino sociales como el desplazamiento forzado (conflicto interno armado y violencia), que han provocado la instauración de los mismos en la ciudad, generando problemas en salud, educación y seguridad, entre otros.
