transient poor

'Structual' or 'Structually' poor would be literal and OK, but 'transient' is the right word here.

Good luck :)

the structurally poor

I don't think it refers to transient poverty, but rather poverty that is a result of the way society is set up...


Structural poverty: Deprivation which is reinforced by administrative, economic and social barriers preventing access to new life skills, employment opportunities, improved health care and better housing.

Digamos para comenzar que una parte de la pobreza es pobreza estructural y otra sólo coyuntural. De este modo, cuando logramos generar una fase de vigoroso crecimiento económico se puede llegar a absorber buena parte de la pobreza coyuntural. En cambio, cuando se trata de resolver pobreza estructural se requiere producir transformaciones importantes en la forma de funcionar del sistema económico. Si no lo hacemos la pobreza se reproduce y no se logra derrotarla.
