Development, Power and Inequality · CDP

What does the “poverty-growth-inequality triangle” model illustrate in development discourse?

  1. That economic growth on its own can fully eliminate poverty without any need to address income inequality
  2. That poverty change depends on both income growth and income distribution
  3. That inequality is irrelevant for development outcomes
  4. That growth always ensures equal outcomes for children
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: That poverty change depends on both income growth and income distribution

The Poverty-Growth-Inequality Triangle posits that changes in poverty depend not only on economic growth but also on how income is distributed — inequality matters for overall development.
