Abstract     Although the history of the social explorations is still young, the study of fenomena, forms and tresholds of marginality is one of its the oldest objects which is also famous for the methodological invention (qualitative, participatory research approach, funded by Chicago school: Anderson, Thomas, Znaniecki). The emphasis of analytical induction and participant observation on the field of marginal groups indirectly testify about margin's mistery. The assumptions used in this study lie on specificifity of social organizations generally which have established some efficent apparatus for own maintenance, so they watch vigilantly on social extremes. The 'inspection' on lower social clases is normally more effective that on higher ones. Applying this concept demistificates the phenomenom of marginality, so the methodological approach can be funded on relative accessable data about people, which registrated by these institutions. Two thirds of socialaid consumers are not coming to social services by their own will. In the study an attempt of derivinig social problems in the worst variant - the cumulative marginalitywas made, on the ground of deduction. Using anonymous bank of data social - service clients and factorial desing analysis were made some ontogenetical models of marginality. The most frequent problems leading into marginality are: material insufficiency, conflicts that suffer children because of divorced parents, children abandonment, infrigements and penal acts.
