The low class has been existing since the beginning of time. Since before 2000 BC.
Right after the 18th century, everyone started getting poorer at the start of the 19th century. This economic shift change was quite unexpected. This economic shift had changed for all members of social class drastically. The high class was shifted to middle class despite nearly all high class staying virtually the same. Those who were middle class were considered lower class which lead to the coined term 'middle class'. The lower class stayed low class.
Hardly any manual labor or housework was ever done by upper class which often resulted in the upper class to do the menial labor jobs the upper class considered too good and demeaning for them. They considered housework as unfavorable for them to do. That's why lower class people worked.
As for the lower class families, children were a source of income. If a woman from any class married and wasn't pregnant within a year of the wedding she was considered useless. Especially low class women. They were attacked constantly.
The low class has been getting higher and higher since the 19th century. Many people whom were once considered middle class have been shifted economically to the low class. Thus making them lower class economically. Right now in the 21st century, the low class has been continually growing.
