There is thought to be three major classes in society throughout the world - the lower class, the middle class and the upper class.
The "lower class" is thought to have the lowest standing in society, mainly due to their lack of income. People in the lower class are not able to afford nice cars, nice homes or vacations.
The "lower class" lives at or below the poverty line. The "lower class" consists of people who work but earn relatively little income (usually minimum wage or slightly higher) and people who don't work. These people who don't work rely on government assistance and/or the generosity of others in order to make ends meet.
The "lower class" usually consists of people who don't have adequate skills or education to earn higher paying jobs and people who aren't able to work. This could include older folks on very fixed incomes, people with disabilities and those who don't have the physical or mental capability to work.
It is often said that the "middle class" is slowly being wiped out. People are either falling into the lower class or climbing their way up to the upper class. The haves and the have-nots.
noun. a class of people below the middle class, having the lowest social rank or standing due to low income, lack of skills or education, and the like.
The working poor, manual laborers, and service industry workers all might be considered part of the lower class. Some people might be offended at being labelled lower class; working class is a more acceptable way to refer to this low-paid group.
Generally, the term lower class describes individuals working easily-filled employment positions. These positions typically have little prestige or economic compensation, and do not require workers to have a high school education.
ˈlō-ˈklas. : of low or inferior quality or social status. a low-class neighborhood. His usual haunt seemed to be a low-class eating-house on the outskirts of the town.
The term "lower class" also refers to persons with low income. The working class is sometimes separated into those who are employed but lacking financial security (the "working poor") and an underclass—those who are long-term unemployed and/or homeless, especially those receiving welfare from the state.
In developed nations across the world, the lower-middle class is a sub-division of the middle class that refers to households and individuals who are somewhat educated and usually stably employed, but who have not attained the education, occupational prestige, or income of the upper-middle class.
