There used to be beggars everywhere. Why didn't they go begging in the streets these two years?

I believe many people have met beggars when they are shopping. These people are basically distributed in front of big supermarkets and stations, begging from passers-by for various reasons. I believe many people give money out of pity. However, since the COVID-19 epidemic swept the world in 2020, many people have found that there are fewer beggars on the streets and they are no longer everywhere as before. In fact, it's not surprising that this happened. After all, under the epidemic, the movement of beggars has been restricted, everyone's income has decreased, many people are not so gullible, and the government has provided the poor with a minimum living allowance, so there are fewer and fewer beggars.

Beggars can't beg everywhere in an epidemic.

Since the beginning of the epidemic, people's daily life has been greatly affected. When going out, they need to show their nucleic acid certificates and travel codes. In some areas, it will take some time to seal up because there are many positive cases. In this case, even beggars can't run around begging. They are as afraid of the epidemic as anyone else, so they can only stay where they live as much as possible and can't run around. After all, beggars are not stupid. They know the power of this virus, and they don't want to get involved with their families and people around them after being infected, so they don't go out to beg much.

People's income has decreased and their awareness of fraud prevention has increased.

The economy is the most affected under the epidemic. Many businesses are not easy to do, and many people are unemployed. In this case, it is difficult for everyone to earn money, and everyone begins to scrimp and save, and there is no extra money for beggars. Beggars began to think about their own way out after finding that asking for money was not as simple as before, and some began to change careers after finding that begging was not cost-effective, thus causing the phenomenon that street beggars were "less and less".

And with the development of information network, many people know that there is a profession called "professional beggar". They treat beggars as jobs and gain people's sympathy by selling suffering. Some beggars beg cleverly, earning hundreds of yuan a day, comparable to those office workers sitting in high-rise buildings. After seeing more beggars begging routines, people's anti-fraud awareness has been greatly improved. Many people will subconsciously think about whether the other person is pretending to be poor and unwilling to give money when they meet beggars, which leads many "professional beggars" to quit the industry.

The poor can receive subsistence allowances.

Many people know that most people used to beg because they were really desperate or could not make a living at all, so they embarked on this road. In order to improve the lives of poor users, China government departments provide them with minimum living allowance. With the minimum living allowance, poor households can receive at least a few hundred yuan a month, which can guarantee a normal life. In addition, in some places, the local government departments will give them some benefits on holidays, and everyone's life is not so difficult, so naturally they are unwilling to reach out and beg.

Conclusion: It is always a good thing that there are fewer beggars, which shows that everyone's life has been guaranteed, and many people are unwilling to be "throwing hands". No matter how the epidemic situation, it is still very beneficial to social development.
