* '''Poverty Trap''' — A "Self-Perpetuating Condition" where an individual or nation is "Unable to Escape Poverty" because the "Starting Resources" are too low to generate growth.
* '''The Big Push''' — An "Economic Theory" that a "Large, Simultaneous Investment" in many sectors is needed to "Jump-Start" a trapped economy.
* '''Low-Level Equilibrium Trap''' — A state where "Population Growth" outpaces "Economic Growth," keeping everyone at the "Subsistence Level."
* '''S-Curve''' (Poverty Curve) — A graph showing that "Income Today" determines "Income Tomorrow" in a way that is "Flat" at the bottom and "Steep" in the middle.
* '''Nutrition-Based Poverty Trap''' — The cycle where a person "Cannot Afford enough Food" to be "Productive enough" to "Earn more Food."
* '''Microfinance''' (see Article 140) — Small loans designed to help individuals "Buy the Tool" (e.g., 'A Sewing Machine') to "Break the Trap."
* '''Human Capital''' (see Article 549) — The "Skills, Education, and Health" of a person: if these are low, the person is "Trapped" in "Low-Wage Work."
* '''Threshold Effect''' — The "Point" where a "Small Increase" in resources leads to a "Massive Increase" in outcome (e.g., 'The last $10 for a vaccine').
* '''Intergenerational Trap''' — When the "Poverty of the Parents" (lack of schooling) becomes the "Poverty of the Children."
* '''Capital Flight''' — When "Rich People" in a poor country "Move their Money" to "Foreign Banks," making it impossible for the local economy to grow.
