The Economics of Poverty in Poor Countries
梳理了贫困、高生育率、营养不良与当地环境资源退化及社会脱节之间的关联，解释了即使经济整体增长，某些群体仍可能陷入贫困陷阱的机制，并讨论了政策含义。
This paper examines the links that have recently been studied between poverty, high fertility and undernourishment, on the one hand, and degradation of the local environmental‐resource base and civic disconnection, on the other, in poor countries. An account is offered of a number of pathways involving positive feedbacks that create poverty traps, in which certain identifiable groups of people in an economy can get caught even when the economy in the aggregate experiences economic growth. The relevant policy implications are noted.
