Finnish term or phrase: huono-osaisuus
I know what the adjective huono-osainen is, but how do I say the noun in English??

It is from the title of an essay: "Huono-osaisuuden alueellinen kehitys 1990-luvulla"

Hi, thanks - I'd actually found the official translation of the essay title already, it said it as "deprivation". Though I like hardship much better, I have to use the official one. Thanks anyway!
