underclass

underclass
Noun
pl: underclasses

This term carries a heavy sociological weight and is often perceived as more clinical or critical than "the poor." It describes a permanent state of marginalization rather than a temporary financial setback, implying a systemic failure that traps individuals across generations.

Because it describes a collective social stratum, the word is frequently used in academic, political, or journalistic contexts to discuss structural inequality. Using it in casual conversation can sound overly formal or detached, potentially dehumanizing the individuals it describes by reducing them to a sociological category.
