Such people, with low wages, low skills, living on the margins of poverty and earning just enough to stay alive, with a demoralizing quality of life and no power to become upwardly mobile, do not normally qualify as low-income households according to the government's criteria because they are technically employed.
這些低薪資、低技術者長期生活在貧窮邊緣，吃不飽也餓不死，生活品質低落又無力向上流動，但因為名義上還有一份工作，通常不符合政府低收入戶的補助標準。
