 The Vicious Circle of Poverty
• This term was first proposed in the works of Hans Singer and Raul Prebisch in
1949-1950.
• The vicious circle of poverty is a concept of interrelated factors explaining
the poor development of individual economic agents, regions and countries.
• The vicious circle of poverty is a problem of developing countries, when a
low level of per capita income does not allow saving and investment at the
level necessary to achieve the minimum rate of economic growth.
• The vicious circle of poverty can be overcome by increasing the rate of
growth of capital accumulation, raising the level of investment to 10% while
simultaneously controlling population growth.
