PAUPERISM (Lat. pauper, poor)

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 967 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PAUPERISM (Lat. pauper, poor) , a
term
  meaning generally the
state
  of being poor, poverty; but in
English
  usage particularly the
condition
  of being a " pauper," i.e. in receipt of
relief
  administered under the poor law. In this sense the word is to be distinguished from " poverty." A person to be relieved under the poor law must be a destitute person, and the moment he has been relieved he becomes a pauper, and as such incurs certain
civil
  disabilities.
Statistics
  dealing with the
state
  of
pauperism
  in this sense convey not the amount of destitution actually prevalent, but the particulars of
people
  in receipt of poor law
relief
 .
