这个时代，生产力发展，社会发展，经济发展，富人发展，穷人也发展。富人发展了自己的富二代，穷人也发展了贫二代。

那些在改革开放中没有致富的产业工人或者农民，他们的子女如今有很多仍属于弱势群体。他们广泛地存在于城市和农村之中，其不但家庭贫困，而且在现有体制下改变其命运的机会依旧很少。这样的一个群体就是我们所说的“贫二代”。

例句：

Lately, the term "second-generation poor" has become a focus in media discussion. It came on the heels of the term "second-generation rich", which became popular around the time of the Hangzhou drunk-driving controversy. This term referred to the children of upstart millionaires and entrepreneurs. So, the term "second-generation poor" describes the children of poverty-stricken families. This is especially so when discussing the negative impact that the family's financial situation has on a future career.

—— Excerpt from Does a poor family background mean a bleak future? 

The meme in the Chinese language is "the second-generation poor", or pin erdai. It is a new term coined to contrast "the second-generation rich" or fu erdai. Because wealthy families have more resources, their children get to enjoy the fruits of success and lay the foundation for their own future success.

That, in a sense, is to be expected. The hereditary nature of poverty, on the other hand, is shocking because education, especially that from a reputable school of higher learning, is supposed to level the playing field.
