Law/Patents - Law (general) / Disabled people
Spanish term or phrase: (personas con discapacidad) y con déficit de ciudadanía
This is from the Sexta Disposción Adicional de la Ley de Contratos del Sector Público (30/2007).

The first part people with disabilities, is fine. I am looking for "established expressions" for "con déficit de cuidadanía" that are used by disabled groups in English speaking countries. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO COIN A NEW PHRASE! (unless you really think it is so good you can't help yourself :)

thanks for you help

A citizenship deficit emerges when groups sense or believe that they do not have access to political avenues to be heard, represented and demand change. In this context people feel unable to be engaged or are frustrated in their attempts to represent themselves or demand action from government and services on their behalf. This leads to disconnection from political processes.


Research Agenda: Investigating Citizenship Surpluses and Deficits

This changing city has meant that there has also been a change in the way that different groups interact with, and perceive, civic bodies. As noted, my initial research shows that this has led to the emergence of both citizenship surpluses and deficits.

http://journal.media-culture.org.au/index.php/mcjournal/arti...
Though the concept of a ‘citizen deficits and surpluses’ have not emerged within the broader literature, there is a wide range of literature that discusses how some sections of the population lack of access to democratic processes. There are three broad areas of research that have emerged relevant here: citizenship and young people (see Arvanitakis; Dee); citizenship and globalisation (see Della Porta; Pusey); and citizenship and immigration (see Baldassar et al.; Gow).

Asker: Thanks, this is clearly the concept. I wonder what disabled people's groups think about the term "a person with a citizenship deficit". It will certainly do.

neutral  ormiston: even reading through your link I cannot work out what this means. Is it an adjective ? are they not eligible as do not qualify for citizenship ?
10 mins
  -> I coied the wrong link before, take a look at the ones I just posted.
agree  Daniel Watson: I think it refers to people whose rights as a citizen are deficient due to social reasons i.e. women getting paid less than men for the same job or because a disability is preventing them from taking advantage of their rights as a citizen.

Asker: I believe that non-citizens refers to foreigners living in another country which is not their own (which opens up all sorts of questions about whether they are allowed to access the same rights as nationals) although there is no such distinction made in the Spanish law between nationals and non-nationals

(individuals suffering from disabilities) who are ineligible for/to citizenship


Explanation:
I agree that a whole sentence would help, buthave found this officially 'cointed' phrase (although I'd have said elegible FOR not to):

INELIGIBLE TO CITIZENSHIP - An individual who is, or was at any time permanently debarred from becoming a citizen of the United States under section 3(a) of the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, , or under section 4(a) of the Selective Service Act of 1948, as amended, or under any section of this chapter, or any other Act, or under any law amendatory of, supplementary to, or in substitution for, any of such sections or Acts. 8 U.S.

'ciudadania' here surely implies citizenshipPLUS the notion of status/rights (i.e. not just that of being a 'non citizen'). If you want to remain PC and not offend, you could go for 'reduced' Citizenship –
