disadvantaged groups
Societally excluded communities
Disadvantaged groups are segments of a population facing systemic barriers to resources, opportunities, or social standing.
The term encompasses people marginalized by poverty, race, disability, gender, or other factors that limit access to education, employment, healthcare, or political power.
Programs designed to help disadvantaged groups typically aim to address these structural inequalities rather than individual circumstances.
