The Parisian underclass
The Parisian underclass refers to a marginalized group within Paris who face economic hardship, limited job opportunities, and social exclusion. Often comprising long-term unemployed, underemployed individuals, and those living in impoverished neighborhoods, they experience barriers to education, housing, and social integration. This group struggles with maintaining stability and participation in mainstream society, and their situation highlights broader issues of inequality, urban poverty, and social cohesion within the city.
