Poverty eradication has been repeatedly identified as the largest challenge facing international society in its quest for a peaceful, prosperous, and just world.

The present document summarizes academic reflections on the links between the concepts of poverty, development and sustainability. Departing from Catholic Social Teaching documents, we study how, in addition to income poverty, institutional aspects and lack of values impede severely to avoid the so-called “poverty trap”.

本文件总结了关于贫困，发展与可持续性概念之间联系的学术思考。除天主教社会教学文件外，我们还研究了除了收入贫困之外，制度方面的问题和价值观念的缺乏如何严重阻碍避免所谓的“贫困陷阱”。
