贫穷具有内在的动态性：任何时候都有大量的人摆脱贫困，但同时也有大量的人陷入贫困。要实现更快的减贫，就需要加快脱贫速度，同时减缓陷入贫困的速度。过去五年在印度、肯尼亚、秘鲁和乌干达进行的研究，考虑了223个村庄和25 000多户家庭，结果表明，逃离和下降的原因并不对称。一组原因与摆脱贫困有关，另一组原因与陷入贫困有关。要更快地减少贫穷，就必须针对这两类原因;只针对人是没有帮助的。(c)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Poverty is inherently dynamic: large numbers of people are escaping from poverty at any given time, but large numbers are also failing into, poverty simultaneously. Achieving faster poverty reduction requires speeding up the pace of escapes while concurrently slowing down the rate of descents into poverty. Studies undertaken over the past five years in India, Kenya, Peru, and Uganda, considering 223 villages and over 25,000 households, show that escapes and descents are not symmetric in terms of reasons. While one set of reasons is related to escaping poverty, another set of reasons is associated with falling into poverty. Targeting both sets of reasons is required for reducing poverty faster; targeting people alone will not help. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
