The "disadvantaged" is a generic term for individuals or groups of people who:

  • Face special problems such as physical or mental disability[1][2]
  • Lack money or economic support[3]

Economically disadvantaged

In common usage "the disadvantaged" is a generic term for those "from lower-income backgrounds" or "the Disadvantaged Poor".[3]

The "economically disadvantaged" is a term used by government institutions in for example allocating free school meals to "a student who is a member of a household that meets the income eligibility guidelines for free or reduced-price meals (less than or equal to 185% of Federal Poverty Guidelines)"[4][5] or business grants.[6]

The "disadvantaged" is often applied in a third world context {{Citation needed|date=August 2017}} and typically relate to women with reduced "upward mobility"[3] suffering social exclusion and having limited access to natural resources and economic opportunities.[3] They are often landless or marginal farmers operating on the most unproductive land.[3]

According to Paul Krugman in an October 2002 article titled "about the distribution of wealth",[7] there is even more of a divide between the classes today than in the 1920s, meaning that the disadvantaged are becoming more economically disadvantaged.

Many disadvantaged groups are also not recognized as disadvantaged, thus giving a disadvantage when they are denied access for tools of self-sufficiency. One example is gender. Such groups are low Socio-economic status and racialized males, especially non-custodial fathers, as well as women choosing traditional gender roles.

Disadvantaged area

Many governments use Disadvantaged area as a designation for various "problem" areas. In the UK "disadvantaged area" is a term used for an area where there is a need "to stimulate the physical, economic and social regeneration" by attracting development and encouraging the purchase of properties.[8] in special provisions for Stamp Tax relief[9] and for areas where health is an issue.[10] In the United States The "Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act"[11] allowed qualifying hospitals to employ temporary foreign workers as Registered Nurses.
