The term "deserving poor" refers to individuals or families who are perceived to be worthy of assistance due to circumstances beyond their control, such as illness, unemployment, or disability. This concept often contrasts with the "undeserving poor," who are seen as responsible for their situation, often due to perceived personal failings. The distinction can influence public policy and attitudes toward welfare and social support systems, shaping how resources are allocated to those in need.

For example, orphans widowers with lots of children, sick and ill and so on. However the idle poor are the poor who refused to work because of laziness. They were fit to work but spent time in the streets begging instead of finding a job. These people were whipped until bloody and were punished.
