pauperisation 是动作名词，指“使人贫困的过程或行为”，不能表示“贫穷的状态”。这里说的是工人陷入贫穷状态，应用不可数名词 poverty；用 pauperisation 会把“被致贫的动作”误当成“贫穷本身”。

动作名词 pauperisation 的逻辑宾语要用介词 of 引出，意为“使……贫困”；for 表示目的或受益对象，不能标示动作的承受者。
两者都可指“使人变穷”的过程；impoverishment 更常用，还可指资源、土壤等变得贫瘠或削弱，搭配范围更广；pauperisation（美式拼写 pauperization）更正式且少见，通常只指使人陷入贫困这一社会过程。
pauperisation 指“使人贫困的过程或行为”，是动作名词；pauperism 指“处于贫困的状态”或“贫民现象”，是状态名词，不能说 the pauperism of workers by low wages。
deprivation 强调缺少生活必需品或权利被剥夺，常与 of 连用，如 deprivation of sleep；pauperisation 强调使人陷入贫困的整个过程，不表示具体的“匮乏项”。两者在贫困语境有重叠，但 deprivation 不一定是“使人变穷”。
