This acronym was not selfchosen, it's mainly used in work statistics by the state, and the reasons to fall into that group are very diverse. Mental Illness, physical illness, having to care for family members, bad economy, no available jobs that would pay the bills in rural areas and so on. The amount of people living this way out of their own choice is pretty limited. It's the same faulty way to think about this like it is done about homeless people and illegal immigrants, and it only makes it harder for them to change their situation.
