“中等收入陷阱”是2006年世界银行在其《东亚经济发展报告》中提出的一个概念。它指的是当一个国家的人均收入达到世界中等水平后,由于不能顺利实现经济发展方式的转变,导致新的增长动力不足,最终出现经济停滞徘徊的一种状态。其基本表现是:经济增长回落或停滞、就业困难、贫富分化、腐败多发、社会动荡等等。 The “middle income trap” is a concept put forward by the World Bank in its “East Asian Economic Development Report” in 2006. It refers to a state in which, when the per capita income of a country reaches a middle level in the world, the failure to smoothly carry out the transformation of the mode of economic development leads to the lack of new growth momentum and eventually the stagnation of the economy. Its basic performance is: economic growth has come down or stagnated, employment difficulties, the polarization between rich and poor, multiple corruption, social unrest and so on.
