When we talk about chronic poor, we refer to someone who has been living in a state of poverty for an extended period. However, the phrase "chronic poor" can be seen as stigmatizing and is associated with negative connotations. Instead, we can use synonyms that focus on the financial situation rather than the individual. Some alternatives include long-term poverty, persistent financial hardship, ongoing economic struggle, or sustained economic vulnerability. Words that prioritize the issue over the person can help change the narrative and promote empathy towards those experiencing hardship. By choosing more appropriate synonyms, we can reduce the stigma associated with poverty and work towards building a more inclusive society.
