In the context of the Netherlands, the term "unworthy poor" historically referred to individuals who were seen as capable of working but chose not to, and instead relied on begging or itinerant peddling. This included recent migrants from impoverished rural areas who moved to cities but did not find regular employment, as well as beggars and itinerant peddlers who were often viewed with suspicion and considered undeserving of charity or public support.
