You used it earlier so I thought you'd already noticed my use of it. I was quite serious though. I meant it to signify the affluent middle class, which you also refer to ("privileged" to me mean rich/upper-class, hence the awkward construction)

Affluence in Europe has a large proportion of non priviliged, At the start of their new life at least, in their new country. They are not the youngster of middle and upper class that i intended to address.
Yes. We are talking about the same group - though I perhaps was thinking specifically of the middle class as they are by far the larger group. As far as I can see, that group is significantly larger today than, say, 50 years ago. I wondered if Sig. Galimberti & Friends took that into account or how he explains it.
