单词 | poverty trap |
释义 | poverty trap A situation when means-tested benefits mean that a person does not gain from moving from unemployment into a job, or from obtaining a better-paid job. They may be no better off, or even worse off financially than before, or too little better off to make the extra effort appear worth while. The poverty trap thus tends to perpetuate unemployment and low productivity work. |
