the whole sentence is:

in this period, within the villages, there was a kind of social stratification; loaded farmers who possessed lands beyond their daily needs, benefiters who only scrape by, a walk of life who had fixed seasonal or constant job and job salary, and finally, the majority of the farmers who had lands just enough to provide for their needs.

I think you mean 'a social class', though we'd be more likely to say simply 'a group'.

Well, 'benefiter' doesn't work. I cannot think of a single word that covers what you need. Others may come up with one.
