Abstract: Poverty in the traditional research focused on the definition, measurement, root, strategy, and so on. With the deep application of the concept of "ability" and "risk" in the field of poverty research, the vulnerability to poverty that takes the future shocks and ability to cope with risk into account can predict the future poverty and improve the efficiency of poverty reduction, which has become one of hot topics in the study of poverty. Foreign study of vulnerability to poverty is mainly aimed at the meaning and the measurement. Domestic literature combined with actual situation mostly draw lessons from foreign research to empirical test with the relevant survey data. Based on the research of many scholars, this article summarizes vulnerability to poverty and points out its characteristics and trends, from the related definitions, the main research contents and methods to related empirical studies at home and abroad, hoping to provide beneficial reference to the future vulnerability to poverty research and to prospective anti-poverty policy.
