Poverty theory of population growth [17] | Malthus, British economist | War, disease, poverty, and many other human misfortunes are caused by the rapid growth of population. It has nothing to do with the social system. Poverty and evil hinder the development of mankind and the growth of population. |
Poverty theory of social structure | Scholar Karl Marx [18] | He believes that the irrationality of capitalist system causes urban poverty. Owners of the means of production, taking advantage of their own advantages, cruel exploitation and crazy plunder, constantly consolidate their position. Constantly squeezing, the surplus value of the working people is taken away. They have no access to other means of production, thus staying poor all the time. |
Poverty theory [19] | Scholar Amartya Sen | Poverty does not just mean very low income. Poor groups lack basic abilities, thus losing the opportunity to get rid of poverty. To get rid of poverty, we must pay attention to cultivating and improving personal ability. Therefore, when measuring poverty, we should also consider the actual ability of individuals to realize value. |
Poverty culture theory | Lewis, American anthropologist | Poor groups will have special poverty subcultures for a long time. This culture makes poor people poorer, has a negative impact on the personality of future generations, and makes poverty pass on from generation to generation. They have no plans, ideals and abilities for the future, and at the same time they are easy to give in and question authority. |
Ring accumulation causality theory [20] | Scholar Muir Dahl [21] | From the perspective of the relationship between income and poverty, this paper puts forward a way to explain the relationship between circular accumulation. Poverty in developing countries is caught in a vicious circle due to low income. In the social and economic system, the relationship between various factors is constantly changing. It is a dynamic cycle with multiplier accumulation effect. |
