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] 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.
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.
